Holding Vegan Cooking Classes
to Promote Vegan Lunches in Schools

By Nantou News Group (Originally in Chinese)

[Nantou] The Nantou County Government has always given full support to mitigate global warming through an animal-free diet as sumptuous vegetarian meals are provided twice a month at the County Government Office canteen. Schools have also been encouraged to serve vegetarian lunches once a week under the free nutritious lunch policy for elementary and junior high schools. In a show of support, our Nantou Center held vegan cooking classes for elementary school cooking staff during the summer vacation, aiming to promote the organic, low carbon and animal-free diet among young students.

We especially invited a senior dietician from Changhua Christian Hospital, Ms. Chen Mei-ying, to work with us in designing a nutritionally balanced lunch menu for elementary school students when the new school term begins. This is part of an effort to support the “One Meat-free Day Each Week” and “Try the Meat-free Every Day” projects aimed at providing scientific basis for parents and teachers to understand the animal-free diet provides sufficient nutrients for the students’ growth on top of being the best solution for global warming.
