Formosa

 

[Hsinchu] Researchers at Formosa's National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) were treated to a sumptuous vegetarian feast prepared by local initiates on January 18, Golden Year 4 (2007). The NHRI is an academic research institution established by the government in the Hsinchu Science Park to upgrade medical research and enhance health care in Formosa. Hsinchu initiates realized that the NHRI can give strong momentum to a vegetarian trend if its employees understand the benefits of a vegetarian diet and adopt this healthy lifestyle.

Over thirty researchers from the NHRI's Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics enjoyed the feast and could not express enough praise for the dishes. Even those who once thought that the vegetarian diet was lack of variety and flavor, were full of praise. "If vegetarian food can be so delicious, then we should have no problem adopting the diet," they said. Some researchers were considering beginning a vegetarian diet on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Fellow initiates immediately supported the good start.

Although this vegetarian promotion effort covered a small number of people, the sincere gratitude, praise and affirmation expressed by the participants touched the hearts of fellow initiates and gave them great encouragement.
