– Fit par na jumbo plakatima najavljuje ZeGeVege 2. i 3. rujna 2016.
Mislav Skrepnik, certificirani instruktor fitnessa i Ivana Rukavina, socijalna pedagoginja, nutricionistica biljne prehrane i polaznica programa Plant-Based Nutrition na Sveučilištu Cornell, veganski su par koji dijeli ljubav prema bodibildingu, nutricionizmu i kreiranju pomno osmišljenih veganskih recepata kojima svakodnevno obogaćuju svoju Facebook-zajednicu pod nazivom “Snaga bilja”.
Ovaj mladi simpatičan duo, na razigranim vizualima pozvat će preko jumbo plakata sve na 9. ZeGeVege festival koji će se, u organizaciji udruge Prijatelji životinja, održati u petak 2. rujna od 9 do 21 sat i u subotu 3. rujna 2016. od 9 do 19 sati na zagrebačkome Trgu bana Jelačića.
U sklopu Festivala održat će predavanje na kojemu će predočiti stečena znanja i znanstveno dokazane činjenice o važnosti biljne prehrane i njezinu utjecaju na izgradnju tijela. Sve koje zanima kako veganska prehrana pomaže i u sportu mogu na predavanju 2. rujna 2016. svjedočiti njihovim postignutim uspjesima i zatražiti savjete iz prve ruke.
“Otkako smo osvijestili postojanje tuđe patnje da bi se napravio jedan običan obrok, logično se postavilo pitanje odgovornosti i želje za promjenom. Srećom, današnji način života omogućava nam sasvim dovoljno obilje resursa potrebnih za osiguravanjem fizioloških potreba, a, osim toga, živi smo primjer kako veganskim načinom života možemo biti snažni, a i graditi mišiće”, kažu Ivana i Mislav.
Dodaju: ”Nakon početnog ulaženja u veganstvo zbog svjesnosti o ubijanju drugih osjećajnih živih bića za jelo, danas sa sigurnošću znamo koliko ovakvim odabirom utječemo na zdravlje cijeloga planeta.”
Vodeći Facebook-zajednicu ”Snaga bilja” zaključuju: ”Oboje vjerujemo u snagu zajednice i grupe kojom možemo učiniti veće i snažnije promjene, a osobno poznavanje nutricionizma i praćenje svjetskih trendova samo nam govore u prilog.”
U bogatom i raznovrsnom programu ovogodišnjeg ZeGeVege festivala zanimljivi predavači/ice održat će atraktivna predavanja i stručna savjetovanja. Posjetitelji će moći prisustvovati radionicama kuhanja i degustacijama, predavanjima o veganskoj prehrani i sportu, utjecaju prehrane na ekologiju, poboljšanju kvalitete života veganskom prehranom, permakulturi, povezanosti prehrane s gladi u svijetu i feminizmom, aktivizmu u praksi te širenju suosjećanja na sve životinje.
Ovaj jedinstven festival u Hrvatskoj i najveći te vrste u regiji, na kojemu će stotinu izlagača/ica izlagati i promovirati isključivo proizvode biljnog podrijetla, promiče održiv način života kojim se pri korištenju prirodnih resursa ne narušavaju okoliš, život ostalih životinja i dobrobit drugih ljudi. ZeGeVege je dio međunarodne manifestacije Veganmania koja se održava u Beču, Münchenu i u još 15 europskih gradova, a prošle godine posjetilo ga je više od 40 000 ljudi.
Intervju s Patrikom Baboumianom, najjačim čovjekom Njemačke i svjetskom rekorderu u dizanju teških tereta, koji je prošle godine sudjelovao na ZeGeVege festivalu, može se pogledati na YouTube-kanalu Prijatelja životinja.

– Fit couple takes to billboards to announce ZeGeVege on September 2 and 3, 2016.
Mislav Skrepnik, certified fitness instructor, and Ivana Rukavina, whi is a social educator, plant-based diet nutritionist and Plant-Based Nutrition program participant at Cornell University, are the vegan couple who share a love of bodybuilding, nutrition and crafting carefully designed, daily vegan recipes to enrich their Facebook community, “Herb Power”.
Through playful billboard visuals, this young likable duo invites everybody to the 9th ZeGeVege festival (organized by Animal Friends). It will be held on Zagreb’s main square from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, September 2, and from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, September 3.
As part of the festival, they will hold a lecture, presenting their knowledge and scientifically proven facts about the importance of plant nutrition and its impact on the development of the body. Anyone interested in how a vegan diet helps in sports should attend their lecture on Sept. 2nd to witness their successes and seek advice first-hand.
“Since we raised awareness of the suffering that goes into an ordinary meal, the question of responsibility and desire for change has been pointed out. Fortunately, today’s way of life offers us an abundance of resources to meet our physiological needs, and, besides, we are a living example of how a vegan lifestyle can make us stronger and build muscles,” said Ivana and Mislav.
They add: ”After the initial transition into veganism, inspired by our awareness that we were killing other sentient living beings for food, today we know how this kind of behavior affects the health of the entire planet.”
By leading Facebook community ”Herb Power”, they conclude: ”We both believe in the power of communities and groups through which we can make bigger and stronger changes, while personal nutrition knowledge and world trends continue growing in our favor.”
This year’s ZeGeVege, with its varied, rich program and interesting lecturers, will hold attractive courses and symposiums. Visitors will be able to attend cooking and food tasting workshops, lectures on the vegan diet and sport, the impact of diet on the environment, how to improve the quality of life through vegan diet, permaculture, connection between world hunger and feminism, activism in practice and spreading compassion to all animals.
In this unique festival in Croatia, the largest of its kind in the region, one hundred exhibitors will present and promote products of plant origin only. The festival promotes a sustainable way of living where the use of natural resources does not disturb the environment, the lives of other animals and the welfare of other people. ZeGeVege is part of the international event Veganmania held in Vienna, Munich and 15 other European cities, and last year it was visited by more than 40,000 people.
An interview with Patrick Baboumian, the strongest man in Germany and world record holder in lifting heavy loads, from last year’s ZeGeVege Festival can be viewed on the Animal Friends YouTube channel.
