Going Vegetarism to Protect Mother-Earth
“Earth has been badly damaged”.

Global warming is on the rise and we as children of the world should all work together to create awareness of saving energy, planting trees instead of clearing green lungs and forests. We can also clean in a more environmentally-friendly manner so as to reduce carbon dioxide’s emission. Deforestation or land cleared for logging is a threat to the natural habitat of wildlife as forest habitat absorbs greenhouse gas emission. The sun is getting stronger and surface temperatures are getting hotter and hotter. Even glaciers and snow are retreating. Because of climate change, sea level can rise and wash away human lifes, villages and land.

We should learn to take charge and be more eco-conscious. There is the ecological and economical argument that the starving people of the world could be better provided for if our meals were not so meat-centred. You need tonnes of vegetable protein to feed animals to produce one tonne of animal protein. If less grain were used to raise graze animals destined for human consumption, more grain would become available for other humans. Public awareness of the dietary advantages of vegetable has grown. Vegetarian dishes can provide a good food alternative and thought to be in conjunction with the body well-being.

With a little planning, it is certainly far from the dull tasteless food that it is made out to be!

The basic concept of vegetarianism is to abstain from consuming meat as the human being and the environment are closely related. With such variety of vegetarian food available today, it need hardly be boring. The choice is yours.

爱地球来吃素

“地球真的生病了!”

全球的气温越来越高,造成温室效应的主要原因是二氧化碳的浓度越来越高所导致,二氧化碳会吸收太阳光中的长波辐射,增加地球的温度。当南北极的冰川因气温上升而融化,全世界多个城市将被淹没。我们身边每天都在上演着因气候异常而造成各的种灾害如干旱、洪灾、土地沙漠化、农业产量减少等,进一步造成饥荒及流行性疫病。

为了地球,为了我们的下一代,身为地球一份子的我们能够做些什么?

根据2007年诺贝尔和平奖得主联合国气候变迁科学研究小组领导印度经济学家卜卓里RAJENDRA PACHAURI在巴黎记者会上公开呼吁:「不吃肉、骑脚踏车、少消费,就可以协助遏止全球暖化。」

为何不吃肉可以协助遏止全球暖化?

原来每生产一公斤的肉,畜牧必须吃下七公斤的谷物。每生产一公斤牛肉等于排放36.4公斤二氧化碳。如果我们三餐中其中一餐吃素,一个人的碳排放量会减至0.78公斤的二氧化碳。持续吃素一年相等于种82棵树,何乐不为?

提到素食,许多人会与“面筋”及“淡而无味”联想在一起。然而,现代素食讲究的是健康,材料多采用天然食材如蔬菜、水果、豆类、菇菌类。为了口味变化,同样的食材以不同的酱料料理,将可以使原本平平无奇的素食摇身一变,大人小孩都喜欢。

为了我们的地球,为了我们的健康,让我们一起开始吃素吧!

Hi,

I own few of the Y3K cookbooks, and I like the great recipes!

Other than being an occasion vegetarian, I enjoy naking vegetarian cakes but I find that good vegetarian cake recipe is hard to come by.

Will be great if you can recommend some good eggless cake soon!

Debbie said...

Hi, do the recipes contain ingredients like onion or garlic?

Y3K food & travel said...

Hi Debbie,

No, but one of the sauce - Thai-style Mayonnaise contains mayonnaise, milk. One recipe contains milk, one with cheese and another one with egg.

That's great! My mum's a lactose-intolerant Buddhist vegetarian and I often don't know what to prepare for her other than normal veg stir-fried with ginger. This book might help.

And thanks for replying!
