By Munich News Group (Originally in German)

 

[Munich] On March 21, Golden Year 6 (2009), our Association members from the Duisburg Center traveled to the Munich Center to join them for the Meat Out Day event. Together, they prepared all kinds of delicious vegan food, and joined a gathering with Animal Peace, United4Animals, Buendnis Tier (Animal Unity), and the vegan internet shop Radix to introduce vegetarian food as a compassionate lifestyle and the most immediate and effective solution for climate change.

Blessed with a beautiful day, the gathering took place in the downtown Marienplatz area. Local residents as well as tourists attentively watched the SOS DVD, read the flyers and savored the wonderful vegan food. Almost all the people expressed their support for the vegetarian diet. After a young couple read the flyer about the vegan diet, the lady encouragingly said to the man, “Darling, we can make this (vegan diet) our goal this year, right?” When the initiates sang the German version of the “Be Veg, Go Green, and Save the Planet” song, many people joined in and some children even danced on the stage with them.

After the event, all the participating organizations agreed that this was the most successful Meat Out Day ever. The initiates felt very inspired and happy to see that the vegan trend is quickly gaining popularity, especially among the young people.
