Seminars on nutritional benefits of vegetarian diet

World over there is a great interest in vegetarianism today. People from all walks of life would like to switch over to a vegetarian diet if they are convinced of its merits. Some are confident about their food habits and make the switch easily. Others need support, guidance and perhaps a gentle nudge. Also there is considerable confusion in the array of products that are available on the shelves of the supermarkets. Many shoppers find it difficult to tell which food and drinks are produced using animal products. The food industry often uses products that may not be suitable for vegetarians. Health professionals are not very clear about the merits of vegetarian diet as they receive little or no training in vegetarian nutrition. Parents are confused whether a wholly vegetarian diet would provide the required nutrition for their kids.

The Kenya Vegetarian Club aims to fill in this space and will support, guide and promote vegetarianism by arranging various programs and events that will help members to understand and appreciate the importance of vegetarian diet. We propose to create awareness about vegetarianism in Africa as the world is moving towards saving the environment and food production and consumption is the first step towards it. We want to help local farmers to grow more vegetables and help them to earn more. Our foundation is a non-profit body which hopes to create many such movements which would help locals to switch over to a better and healthy living.

The Club promotes tree planting and helps in saving the beautiful forests of Kenya. We need to join together and preserve our wildlife and other national resources for the future of our citizens. Kenya is a country of green vegetation and rich with tons of variety of vegetables and fruits. Let’s all pledge to remain vegetarian. Please help us to promote the same across the world.
