11.25 is International Vegetarian Day.

International Vegetarian Day (or International Vegetarian Day) is a festival originating from India since 1986; it was originally called "World Meatless Day". It is scheduled for November 25th every year! Gradually developed into a worldwide festival. On this day, many slaughterhouses, canteens, hospitals and prisons around the world will provide vegan food. More than 9.5 million people responded to the movement that year.

The diet should be diverse. At the same time, some nutrition experts point out that it is possible to eat healthily even if you are vegetarian. Many vegetarian restaurants have come up with the idea of ??"vegetarian food" to attract customers.

Vegetarian-made boiled fish and boiled beef are cooked through frying, deep-frying and other techniques, but this way of eating runs counter to the pursuit of health by vegetarians. Regardless of whether you are a vegetarian or an omnivore, you should pay attention to freshness, seasonality, variety, and less oil, less salt, and less sugar.

The significance of the festival

1. The importance of vegetarianism

Einstein said: "Our task is to liberate ourselves, which requires expanding our sympathy. A circle that embraces all living things and embraces the wonderful nature. Nothing can be more beneficial to human health and increase the chances of survival on earth than a vegetarian diet.”

22 million animals have been slaughtered to satisfy American appetites. What a great move to achieve a healthy diet so that no living beings are slaughtered.

2. More energy efficient

Currently, 72% of grain production in the United States is used to raise animals for slaughter. It takes 15 pounds of feed to get one pound of meat. However, if the food were directly consumed by humans, there would be enough food to feed the entire planet.

In addition, from the perspective of maximizing food production, occupying land to develop animal husbandry is inefficient. According to soil and agricultural water records, one acre of land can produce 50,000 pounds of tomatoes, 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots or just 250 pounds of beef.
