PETALING JAYA: According to a survey conducted by a vegetarian resource group, 22% of the world population has stopped eating meat in 2023. These people have decided to abstain from eating meat for the rest of their life for a kinder and better world. The figures continue to rise as we see an increase in interest in plant-based diets.
Nov 25 is “International Meatless Day”, it is a day where millions all over the world pledge to abstain from consuming all forms of meat, fish and fowl for an entire 24 hours. The campaign began in 1986 by the Sadhu Vaswani Mission, with the purpose of promoting compassion, healthy living and environmental protection.
This year is no different, this campaign has been organised by the Malaysian Meatless Day Campaign Committee in Malaysia over the past 27 years with the sole aim of getting as many individuals and organisations as possible to pledge to go meatless tomorrow.
Malaysia is a well-known food paradise around the world, and no less of a vegetarian food paradise. On Wednesday, a new vegetarian restaurant by the name Sappadhutha Mukkiyam opened at 49 Bishop Street, Penang.
