[Prague]
On October 5, Golden Year 5 (2008), the Czech fellow initiates greeted
visitors to the fifth annual Vegetarian Day in Prague with highly useful
information on vegetarianism, animal protection and global warming. Their
effort was openly endorsed by Mr. Ing. Richard J. Barták, former Deputy
Minister of Agriculture. “Decrease considerably your meat consumption
or cancel it totally and become vegans or at least vegetarians,”
said Mr. Barták, who promoted organic farming while in office. Visitors
learned much about the veg diet and global warming, showed great interest
in the bestselling books by Supreme Master Ching Hai and enjoyed the excellent
vegetarian delicacies prepared by the initiates.

The event was highlighted by an award ceremony chaired by Mr.
Petr Vachler, the Director of the Czech Film and Television Academy and
a vegetarian and protector of animals. Mr. Petr Vachler was pleased to
play this role, saying, “Now I only look for the one way –
how to spread vegetarianism more.” The Vegetarians of the Year Award
went to a married couple who prevented the construction of a factory pig
farm with a planned capacity of about ten thousand pigs; the Czech translation
of John Robbins’ book Nová výživa (The Food Revolution)
won the Book of the Year; and the newly established Vegfood operated
by Czech initiates was named Vegetarian Restaurant of the Year! The day
was concluded with an SOS video on global warming produced by Supreme
Master Television.
On
October 24, the local initiates hosted an event in their VegFood restaurant
to officially introduce the SOS DVDs to the representatives of the major
green, vegetarian and animal protection organizations. The DVD contains
the most important and urgent information on global warming compiled from
Supreme Master TV programs, making the case that vegetarianism is the
most efficient solution. So far, 12,000 copies of this DVD have been produced
to be shared with all civil offices and organizations, ministries and
public groups.
