Enjoyment of versus waiver: Plöner conversations on eating culture in focus!

What's going on in Plön? On July 20, 2025, an exciting event of the traditional "Plöner Talks" series will take place at Palace Plön, which is organized by the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival (Shhmf) and the NDR. This year everything revolves around "a life between lust and waiver". Moderated by the NDR remote monitor Susanne Stichler, experts will come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities of a conscious diet. Among the discussants are prominent names such as Prof. Dr. Ingo Balderjahn, an economist and consumer researcher, Bärbel Ring, the restaurant manager of the Söl’ring Hof on Sylt, and Dr. Matthias Riedl, who is known as a nutritionist and NDR nutrition doc.

In a time when many people juggling with a full schedule, a recent study by Nestlé shows that "new pragmatism" can offer a way out of savings constraints and stressful everyday life. Above all, 34 percent of Germans and a whopping 61 percent of Generation Z complain about a lack of time for a balanced diet. Practical solutions and simple recipes are becoming increasingly important, reducing the pressure to show perfect eating behavior.

waiver and enjoyment in conversation

dr. In the last round of discussion, Matthias Riedl brought up a startling point: "We eat ourselves ill" - a comparison that he even made with smoking. The food industry is in the pillory, the targeted advertising and addictive additives are targeted. Bärbel Ring also pleaded for mindfulness in consumption and quoted her father: "It always has to be in front of a '" - not too much and not too little. " These thoughts reflect the increasing demand for realism in nutrition. More and more people want to feel more enjoying food again without falling into an over -consumption trap.

The Söl’ring Hof and similar gastronomies experiment with the idea that enjoyment does not have to automatically contradict the waiver. Prof. Balderjahn made it clear that real change could not be achieved through prohibitions, but by consuming consumption. In addition, he did not stop at abstract thoughts; His example of desert grasshoppers impressively illustrated the far -reaching consequences of our diet on the environment.

the audience and the social debate

The questions from the audience showed that many are very interested in rethinking their own habits. A good knack in designing a more conscious diet could provide valuable impulses here. Another examination also shows that 74 percent of people have a negative attitude towards fast food users. Vegans: Inside, similar stigmatization are affected. Doreen Buchheiser from the Robert Bosch Foundation calls on to discuss nutrition respectfully and to appreciate the variety of experiences.

This is impressive that the path to a balanced diet is not only an individual but also a social concern. With the focus on conscious waiver and real enjoyment, a new quality of life may develop. Incidentally, the program will be broadcast live on NDR info on July 20 at 7 p.m. - an event that should not be missed.
