This article analyses the public discourse of an early vegetarian movement, active in Antwerp during the interwar period (1923-1940). It questions the social background of the vegetarian Hygiënisch Gesticht Van den Broeck, and identifies Aloïs Van Son as its main driver and architect of a radical Lebensreform. By an in depth reading of the main periodical of the movement, Terug Ter Orde, it is argued that the early Antwerp vegetarians developed an extensive, religious inspired critique against the modern food-system, and proposed a coherent alternative regarding the production, distribution and consumption of food. Although the social impact of the movement remained limited, and mainly attracted people from well to do Flemish cultural circles, some of its ideas regarding industrial food reform are still remarkably actual and to the point. |
