Post-Pandemic Trend of Plant-Based Diet

After three years, the Covid-19 pandemic is no longer a threat. In addition to the grief it created, the pandemic ended up teaching us lessons. Growing awareness of a healthy lifestyle, which includes using a balanced food, is one of the lessons. According to the survey results of Kerry Indonesia, a food ingredient company with headquarters in Ireland, there are three categories of reasons why someone chooses to consume healthy food: for physical health, for the health of the planet and the environment, and for dietary reasons. The consumption of plant-based diet is one example of a healthy diet that is currently in style. Healthy food is becoming increasingly important in modern society. There are various healthy eating movements that regulate the types of foods that must be consumed and those that must be avoided, as well as how to control the frequency and timing of eating.

Restoring the Earth’s Health, Post-Pandemic

The global pain we are suffering as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic should be a loud and clear warning, so that we put the brakes on greed and accelerate sharing in resource use. Indications that the Covid-19 pandemic is becoming an endemic are increasingly apparent. The second wave has faded, the number of new daily cases is below 1,000 and the death toll is below 50. This is far below the peak of the pandemic three months ago, when we saw 56,000 new cases and 2,000 deaths per day. Vaccination has also proven to reduce fatalities. The rate of new cases and deaths after vaccination was much lower compared to before the rollout. The situation is also improving in most other countries, although not yet fully under control. And more thankfully, there hasn\'t been a new variant as dangerous as the Delta variant. The pandemic has shattered the life order of the whole world. Economies plummeted, thousands of companies went bankrupt, unemployment swelled, poor and stressed people were everywhere and many development agendas were abandoned. Schools and colleges were forced to close for more than a year. Many got headaches from attending daily online meetings, from lectures, various seminars and discussions, and to meetings, as well as from tahlilan (prayer for the dead) to takziah (paying last respect for the dead).
