I try to help sending the information requested and indicating appropriate literature. Usually I ask the students to let me have a copy of their work when finished. I want to thank Alexandra Brichacek from Oakland, USA who sent me a copy of her slightly shortened work about *‘Anthropomorphism and the New Paradigm’*. I think it is very interesting and you can read it here. As announced in the last EVU News a little group cycled through Sweden for 19 days, eating only raw plant-food. A lot of people would have liked to take part but for several reasons did not. Arne Wingquist and I have written down our experiences for all those who are interested in a challenge like this. **‘Health is not everything but without health everything is nothing!’** says a German proverb. Dr. Hans Diehl, well known to the readers who attended the World Congress in the Hague in 1994, writes about how most health problems can be resolved eating a plant based diet ‘as grown’. The first part talks about hypertension, diabetes and obesity. His article will be continued in the next issue of the EVU News. For all those people that have ‘struggled without much success’ to loose some weight, (as was written in a letter to the editor in the last IVU News), Dr. Diehl has the magic formula: **Eat more food but of the right kind!** It works as I could even notice in the case of children. I am sure there is still a place for you if you should decide in the last minute to register for the [European Vegetarian Congress](https://ivu.org/hv-congress-1999-congress-euro97-index.html) in Bussolengo, Italy.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1073 ### Vegan Recipes - [![Chilean Cilantro Salsa (Pebre)](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/chilean-cilantro-salsa--pebre--1793579884_72a05ca60cc1705426a40b104a89282a.jpg "Chilean Cilantro Salsa (Pebre)")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/chilean-cilantro-salsa-pebre.html "Chilean Cilantro Salsa (Pebre)") #### [Chilean Cilantro Salsa (Pebre)](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/chilean-cilantro-salsa-pebre.html "Chilean Cilantro Salsa (Pebre)") [Chile](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/chile.html) [Sauces](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/sauces.html) [Starters & side dishes](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/snack-side-dishes.html) -
