[Taichung] On February 3, Golden Year 4 (2007), our Taichung Center hosted a LOHAS vegetarian feast in celebration of the Lunar New Year. It included a cooking demonstration and sampling of a vegetarian New Year dinner, a seminar on vegetarianism and health, a display of New Year dishes by models, and entertaining interludes by two lovely piglets. Guests were highly impressed and acknowledged the message conveyed by the event at the Taichung Art Garden Boulevard.

Over a dozen Aulacese and Thai women married to Formosans attended the cooking demonstration under the guidance of Miss Mai Yu-zhen, President of the Changhua County New Immigrants Association. To welcome the New Year of the Pig, fellow initiates especially arranged for the presence of two vegetarian piglets to let the public see how cute our animal friends are. Many parents brought their kids to touch the piglets and feed them by hand, which would undoubtedly develop their love for animals. Towards the end of the event, we served 800 portions of vegetarian snacks, which were quickly taken by our enthusiastic guests.

* LOHAS is the acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability.
