Vegan nutrition and awareness of nutritional defenciencies and their compensation
LÁCHOVÁ, Aneta
In my bachelor's thesis on the topic of Vegan nutrition and awareness of possible nutritonal deficiencies and their compensation, I investigated whether vegans have sufficient knowledge about this diet to avoid possible nutritional deficiencies, which can bring with a number of health complications. In the theoretical part I characterize the concept of veganism and what can be the reasons for choosing a vegan diet. I also focus on more details on the vegan diet, especially on nutrients, which can an increased risk of insufficient intake on the vegan diet. I deal with their recommended daily intake and I also introduce in which plant food this nutrients can be found or if their intake must be supplied by using dietary supplements. For the practical part of my thesis, I set two objectives. The first objective was to map if respondents have the necessary information about a possible deficit of nutrients and if they know how to supplement it. The second objective was to find out if the vegan diet of each respondent is really corresponding to their energy needs. My research group was composed of 5 respondents, three women and two men. I obtained data from them through a semi-structured interview and from their dietary records. The results showed that respondents don't have all information about the vegan diet, which is important for providing all the nutrients and preventing health complications. The dietary analysis shows that the energy intake of each respondent is lower than recommended energy intake. Also the macronutrient ratio didn't completely match to the daily recommendation that was set.

Parents of vegan children and adolescents awareness about the main principles and risks of vegan diet
Šenkýřová, Hana ; Selingerová, Eliška (advisor) ; Heniková, Marina (referee)
Veganism is a way of life based on the effort to eliminate or reduce as much as possible any form of exploitation and abuse perpetrated on animals for human needs. From a dietary point of view, we use the term veganism to exclude all foods of animal origin from the diet. Plant-based diets bring indisputable health benefits, but there may also be certain risks that need to be avoided. In recent years, interest in this lifestyle has increased and we are increasingly encountering it among children, even the youngest, who are particularly prone to health problems resulting from dietary errors. This work is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part contains information about the diet during pregnancy and lactation, in childhood and adolescence. Furthermore, attention is paid to veganism, especially from a nutritional point of view. The possible risks of plant diets in children and the recommendations and attitudes of health organizations are presented. The main goal of the practical part of the work was to map what awareness of the mentioned risks and recommendations parents of vegan-eating children and adolescents have and whether they also follow the recommendations in practice. I was also interested in whether and how communication on this topic between parents and...

Transfer of Vegetarian Value Model from Parents onto Their Childern
Vastlová, Markéta ; Cirklová, Jitka (advisor) ; Janas, Martin (referee)
This bachelor's thesis is, as the itself name indicates, concerned with the concept of education of children by their parents - vegetarians, possibly vegans. What is examined is whether they are trying to transfer their own model of values - vegetarianism or veganism onto the child, but also what aspects will influence their future value orientation the most during the course of their primary socialisation. The influence of the informing parent's partner as well as that of grandparents on both sides is considered, further on the influence of the educational institution the child attends is factored in. It is there where the child is confronted with different norms and values than those that the child can be familiar with from the home and parents are then have to resolve the arisen situation. The thesis itself is divided into three main sections which are the following: Theoretical Introduction, Methodology and Research.The first section is dedicated to the theoretical background enabling the confimation of data necessary for the analysis itself. Specifically it outlines the value basis of vegetarianism, explains the difference between vegetarianism and its more radical form veganism. It delineates the influence of family and educational institutions on the latter value orientation of the child....

Spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.
Schejbalová, Eliška ; Spalová, Barbora (advisor) ; Tesárek, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the topic of spirituality in the field of vegetarianism and veganism. The main goal of this thesis is to find out how and when is the spirituality formed in narratives of the respondents, who are vegetarians or vegans and how do they construct it. The results of this work are obtained using a qualitative research, mostly in form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with sensitivity to the ways that the narratives are constructed. These interviews took place mainly in online space due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This thesis connects several areas of theory, which later appear in the narratives of respondents. The main theoretical framework for this thesis is concept of mindful body by Nancy Scheper- Hughes and Margaret Lock, concept of purity by Mary Douglas, theory of Dark Green Religion by Bron Taylor and views of the boundaries between people and animals by Margo DeMello. This thesis and its conclusions can serve as a basis for subsequent research on the topic, since this thesis formed as a certain view of the field of spirituality in veganism and vegetarianism.
