By Hong Kong News Group (Originally in English)

[Hong Kong] On March 25, Golden Year 8 (2011), Loving Hut Wan Chai and Shau Kei Wan East Government Secondary School jointly organized a vegan class called “Be Organic Vegan to Stop Global Warming” to inform the students about the most effective solution to this urgent planetary problem. The class was held at Loving Hut Wan Chai, where the students were given a tour of the kitchen and then attentively watched a cooking demonstration. Everyone received a copy of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s book From Crisis to Peace - The Organic Vegan Way is the Answer, and other informative materials. Afterwards, they enjoyed some delicious and colorful dishes such as Vegan Pizza, Rainbow Fried Red Yeast Rice and Deep-fried Golden Cutlets provided by the Loving Hut staff.

Many students expressed their excitement in trying the vegan food for the first time. One said, “Before I came to this restaurant, I never thought that being organic vegan could stop global warming. Now I realize how important it is not to eat meat and to switch to a vegan diet to save the planet.” Another commented, “I find this food very tasty. I could not imagine that beans were used to produce vegan meat. I like it very much. After finishing this meal, I feel that I am more energetic. I am going to cook more vegan food at home now.”

The teacher who is in charge of environmental protection studies in the school said that they will organize more such events in the future. Through this class, the students were introduced to a new way of living, which is compassionate, healthy and sustainable.
