It would be excessive to say that these foods tend to disappear from homes and restaurants, however the local diet mutates and consolidates new patterns of consumption in parallel with social changes and personal principles, both in the Balearic Islands and throughout Spain, who reject an animal origin diet alleging an ethical reason.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a conviction that has been multiplied. Different lifestyles make up alternative ways of eating, such as vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian or macrobiotic.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2017, 7.8% of Spanish adults were veggie (vegans, raw vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians). In 2021, growth versus 2019 reached almost 1,300,000 new veggies, 34% more. The total is already above 5 million, according to the latest study “The green revolution” made by Lantern.<\/span><\/p>\n

This universe has nuances. The vegetarian person does not eat meat, but animal derivatives, such as milk and eggs; the flexitarian follows the same habits, and sometimes consumes meat and fish; the vegan rejects the animal diet and the raw vegan eats raw food because they argue that cooking removes nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
