Chile
A Series of Campaigns to Promote Vegetarianism
By Santiago News Group (Originally in Spanish)
[Santiago] Fellow initiates in Chile held a series of activities in October and November of Golden Year 5 (2008) to alert people to the impending crisis of global warming. They attracted the attention of academics with an exhibition at the University of St. Thomas, highlighting the vegan diet as the most effective means to counter the problem. A free sampling of delicious vegan dishes was complemented by an elegant display of Master’s photos as well as print and audiovisual publications. The vegetarian diet was also introduced in lectures delivered at the Walter Schmidt schools in Valdivia in southern Chile on five Saturdays between mid-October and early December.
It was very pleasant for the initiates to discover so many
people have already turned vegetarian, especially the younger generation.
