W
henever I think
“vegan,” the per-
son who comes to
mind isn’t some earthy yogi, but
rather his stark opposite: Ron
Swan-
son from
“Parks
and Rec-
reation.”
If
you
haven’t
seen
the
show,
I’ll
give
you some
insight
as to just
how obsessed this man is with
meat.
For
instance,
when
he
finds his soul food: “I’d go to
a banquet in honor of those
Somali pirates if they served
bacon-wrapped shrimp.” At a
restaurant: “Just give me all
the bacon and eggs you have ... I
worry what you just heard was
‘give me a lot of bacon and eggs.’
What I said was, ‘Give me all
the bacon and eggs you have.’”
And finally, when he walks
in onco-worker Chris Traeger
doing yoga: “There’s a hot,
spinning cone of meat in the
Greek restaurant next door. I
don’t know what it is, but I want
to eat the whole thing.”
Don’t get me wrong; Ron
Swanson is hilarious. But the
guy’s dietary habits, to put it
nicely, are not something to
emulate in real life. There’s
never reason to eat an entire
cone of meat. Or all the bacon
and eggs. And according to
hundreds of dieticians, doctors
and scientists, there’s really no
reason — close your ears, Ron
— we need meat or eggs in our
diets at all.
But
before
all
the
Ron
Swansons of the world run
away,
or
even
the
more
moderate, chicken and greek
yogurt inclined eaters scram,
hear this article out. (It might
make you run a little faster — in
a good way.)
“Veganism,” both a diet and
a philosophy, can be loosely
defined as a lifestyle that
abstains
from
consuming
animal
products.
Like
vegetarians,
vegans
exclude
meat from their diets, but they
also reject dairy products, eggs,
honey — all foods produced by
animals — as well as processed
foods with traces of animal,
such as marshmallows that
contain gelatin. Instead, vegan
diets are plant-based, majorly
consisting
of
unprocessed
grains,
vegetables,
fruits,
legumes (mainly beans), seeds
and nuts.
They
may
sound
like
squirrels, but vegans are slowly
but surely taking over the
world. Though humans have
been eating plant-based diets
since our ancient scavenging
days
(berries
and
edible
mushrooms,
anyone?),
the
term “veganism” was properly
coined in 1944 by Donald
Watson, former secretary of
the UK’s Vegetarian Society.
At the time, vegetarianism was
growing more popular, largely
for
ethical
reasons.
Soon,
discussions
surfaced
about
not only the maltreatment of
animals in the meat industry,
but
also
the
unethical
exploitation of animals for
dairy and eggs.
In
the
decades
that
followed,
veganism
gained
traction,
especially
in
the
1960s
countercultural
food
movement. Then the 2000s
brought
a
surge
of
vegan
support: In 2004, Dr. T. Colin
Campbell’s bestselling “China
Study” argued that animal
products are the real culprits
in causing cancer and other
diseases; the book prompted a
group of filmmakers to produce
“Forks Over Knives” in 2011,
focused on case studies of
people who improved their
health
by
nixing
a
meat-
centered, high-sugar American
diet. Though vegan proponents
have been met with criticism
— largely stemmed by doubts
that veganism provides enough
protein and other nutrients
to be healthy — the American
Dietetic Association affirms
that a properly planned (read:
you’re not only eating apples),
plant-based diet is perfectly
healthy.
What does a vegan meal look
like? It might be a rice bowl
with black beans, avocado,
roasted sweet potatoes and pico
de gallo, tortilla chips on the
side. Or macaroni and “cheese,”
noodles topped with a creamy
blend of butternut squash and
roasted peppers. If your mouth
is watering, don’t worry — these
steaming bowls of plant-based
goodness are right here in Ann
Arbor.
To
learn
more
about
veganism — and yes, eat that
rice bowl — I visited The Lunch
Room, Kerrytown’s all-vegan
restaurant. After devouring my
lunch, I met Phillis Englebert,
co-owner of the restaurant, to
pick her brain about veganism
and
see
what
her
advice
would be for college students
interested in adopting the diet.
In particular, I asked what
the
biggest
misconception
people had about veganism was.
“Four things,” Phillis said.
“First, everyone thinks they
won’t get enough protein. They
don’t realize there’s protein in
everything, even vegetables.”
She pointed to my empty bowl
of rice and beans. “See that?
You just ate a bowl of protein.”
She continued, “Then they’ll
think a vegan diet won’t fill
them up. And that they’ll need
supplements to make up for
lost nutrients. Finally, people
will say that it’s just too hard
to figure out — too much
sacrificing of food, too much
planning for meals, too weird.”
For Phillis, cooking vegan
meals
has
become
like
second nature. An on-and-off
vegetarian since she was 16,
Phillis adopted veganism in
2007 when she discovered she
was lactose intolerant. Before
opening The Lunch Room in
2013, she and co-owner Joel
Panozzo hosted vegan dinner
parties
with
their
friends,
which
eventually
led
to
operating a vegan food cart in
Mark’s Carts on Main Street.
Customer reactions — from
vegans and non-vegans alike —
were so positive that The Lunch
Room was born.
“Looking around this room,
I’d bet $100 that not one person
is vegan,” Phillis said. There
wasn’t a small crowd, either.
Turns out, you don’t have to
be vegan (Exhibit A: myself)
to enjoy fresh, tasty, satisfying
food that boosts your health
and doesn’t break your bank. A
hearty bowl of rice and beans,
for example, was just $6 — a
hell of a lot cheaper than Ron
Swanson’s 16-ounce ribeye.
I also asked Phillis what her
advice would be for a college
student who was considering
veganism.
“First of all, you need a good
vegan cookbook,” Phillis said.
(Her favorite is “Isa Does It,”
available at Literati.) “You need
about a dozen pantry staples,
like
grains,
beans,
spices
and dressings. Then it’s all
planning; I make a huge salad
with grains, roasted veggies,
nuts, chickpeas and dressings
every weekend, and that’ll be
my lunches for the week.”
Phillis said it’s all about
experimenting and roasting,
tossing
together
nuts
and
grains and fresh produce to
make a meal that satisfies you.
She added, “And feel free to
stop in The Lunch Room, if you
ever want to talk to a living,
breathing vegan.”
And if I had to guess, I’d say
they’re probably living and
breathing better than the rest
of us.

Tom Bissell talks
new book tracing
Christ’s apostles
By MERIN MCDIVITT
Daily Arts Writer
Renowned writer Tom Bissell
travels the world for his books,
dealing with Eastern European
law enforcement, rocky landings
in the Arctic and instability
in
war-torn
Afghanistan
and Iraq along
the
way.
For
his latest novel,
“Apostle:
Travels Among
the
Tombs
of
Twelve,”
Bissell
traced
the footsteps of
Jesus’ original
followers
to
better understand their complex
legacy. In a recent interview
with The Michigan Daily, he
reflected on his provocative
career thus far.
His career has spanned not
only continents, but genres.
Often described as a travel
writer by the press, Bissell and
his publishers often shy away
from this label as being overly
narrow for a writer that covers
everything from video games
to
history
to
contemporary
world issues with eloquence and
humor.
“I’ve
been
innovative
or
stupid enough — which is a
fine line, really — to write a
bunch of books that defy easy
categorization,”
Bissell
said.
“Most of them are technically
travel books, and I like seeing
them in the travel section, but
often times they wind up getting
shelved or grouped with other
books that address the same
subject matter but aren’t travel
books.”
Bissell
lets
his
own
fascinations be an extension
to
his
own
voice
through
his
prolific
writing,
which
extends far beyond the book
world
into
online
columns
and frequent appearances in
magazines,
anthologies
and
other publications. The only
common
thread
that
runs
through this diverse body of
work seems to be his own sense
of curiosity — a driving interest
in understanding the things that
others take for granted, whether
it be the latest edition of “Grand
Theft Auto” or a thousand-year-
old religious movement.
“There’s travel but also a lot
of history, for better or worse,
because I enjoy writing about it,
but I think that’s what creates
this perception of categorical
hybridization,” he explained.
“Back when I taught, I used to do
a class called ‘Weird Nonfiction:
Geoff
Dyer,
Joan
Didion,
Ryszard
Kapuscinski,
John
D’Agata, Eula Biss.’ I think, in
my heart of hearts, that’s where
I’d like to be shelved.”
All the international intrigue
that has defined his career as
a writer belies a small town
upbringing
in
Escanaba
in
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
“When I was a kid, Escanaba
seemed like the center of the
universe to me,” Bissell said. “I
knew it wasn’t London or Paris,
obviously, but not until I got
out and about did I realize how
comparatively
sheltered
life
truly was there,” Bissell said.
“This came as quite a shock to
me, naturally. Yet Escanaba
remains a hugely important
part of my life and imagination.
I love being from the Upper
Peninsula.”
But this protected, isolated
UP life wasn’t quite what it
appeared.
The
foundations
of Bissell’s writing life were
established back then, in large
part due to the influence of
several friends of his father
— wartime companion Philip
Caputo and Jim Harrison, both
well-respected
writers
who
exposed Bissell to the realities of
their world.
“It was probably the biggest
gift a young wanna-be writer in
the Upper Peninsula could have
had. Being a writer never seemed
to me like an impossible goal,”
he said. “And from hearing them
talk about their lives, I knew it
wasn’t glamorous. It was hard.
Very hard.”
Bissell’s latest book, eight
years in the making, brought
him to another corner of the
world to satisfy an itch he has
always had.
It
began
with
“a
deep
and abiding interest in early
Christianity — how it began,
what happened to it — and my
own desire to get to the bottom
of what I actually felt about this
topic I’d read so much about
and lived with in my head for so
long,” he explained.
His search for these answers,
as
personal
as
they
were
universal, took him throughout
the ancient world and led him
to plenty of texts, some as old
as time and others hot off the
presses.
For
the
aspiring
writers
of
tomorrow,
Bissell
said
there is no magic formula to
success, particularly in travel
or nonfiction, both notoriously
finicky genres prone to constant
reinvention and short attention
spans. All he could offer is trust
— in your own skills, and even
more than that, in curiosity.
Always complaining that no one
ever writes about something
you’re
obsessed
with?
Do
something about it.
“Write what you’d like to
read,” he said. “And try to get
paid for it.”
