Animal-Free and Cruelty-Free |
Supreme Master Ching Hai encourages all of us to adopt a vegan lifestyle, which means the complete absence of animal products in every aspect of our lives. It's the fastest way to stop 80% of global warming and a win-win situation for all involved: humans, animals, and the planet. So where do you start?
1. Eat a Plant-Based Diet
Be Veg. This means maintaining a diet without meat, dairy, eggs, honey or any other animal-derived products. Delicious and nutritrious food can be made with grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. There are also many faux meat, which you can purchase here at The Celestial Shop. By being vegan, you will help end the cruelty of animal factory farming and save the planet. Take the first step by visiting www.suprememastertelevision.com/veg_main.php for abundant vegan resources such as cooking shows, recipes, and restaurants.
2. Fashion with Compassion
Say No to fur, leather, and wool, which are the most common animal products used in our lives. You can find them in clothes, shoes, handbags, wallets, home furnishings, etc. Millions of innocent animals are killed every year to make these products. So next time you go shopping, choose compassionate alternatives such as faux fur, synthetic leather (pleather), and polyester fleece, all of which can be found at The Celestial Shop.
