MentesFeszt is one of the largest domestic events for a health-conscious lifestyle

We live in a world of diverse nutritional trends. We hear more and more about veganism, protein-rich diets, and even paleo and keto lifestyles. So, there are those who eat almost only meat, eggs, and dairy products, and there are those who eat everything but these. Many people choose their foods based on their convictions, many with their health or appearance in mind. However, there are also plenty of people who are driven by some kind of compulsion, be it food allergies, diabetes, or other age- or condition-specific challenges.

Food sensitivities don’t eat what they eat because it’s trendy

For them, consuming a dairy-free cappuccino, a gluten-free pizza dough, or a Rákóczi túrós without added sugar at MentesFeszt is not only a gastronomic experience, but also the opportunity to avoid digestive or other problems.
Nowadays, more and more food developers are thinking about food sensitivities. Moreover, it often means that some people have to avoid consuming several ingredients. Fortunately, this is why we can increasingly come across delicacies free of milk, gluten, soy and added sugar, which can also be rich in protein. It will be worth tasting such main courses, desserts or even snacks on February 22nd

– said Dr. Csaba Németh, food engineer, university professor, who has been giving lectures at MentesFeszt for several years.

Let’s take care of our own plate!

The topic of free foods can evoke a lot of emotions. Sometimes we also encounter misconceptions. There are articles and reports that go into great detail about how the Earth is being destroyed by cattle farming, so it is not surprising that some people look disapprovingly at the other person’s plate of steak. Others consider consuming milk-free “coffee with milk” and “cheesecake” to be a gentleman’s whim, even though for someone with a milk protein allergy this is the only opportunity to taste popular delicacies.

There is a very positive message in the fact that MentesFeszt is an event where everyone can find snacks for their own plate. And beyond that, there is also a common, good-natured education about nutrition. So, in addition to getting good tips for our own meals and making them more varied, we also get answers to the “whys” of those who eat differently from us, which helps everyone to deal with their own plate or understand the habits of others, which can be useful even within a family or group of friends
