From a fringe, eccentric lifestyle choice, it has become a widely accepted way of life that has been gaining rampant support on both the scientific and the cultural fronts. More doctors, environmentalists and chefs advocate this way of life than ever before. The American Dietetic Association has endorsed it as healthful and beneficial, and public figures from Bill Clinton to Carl Lewis have attested to the positive change it has brought to their lives. An estimated 15% of Israelis avoid meat completely, more than 150 restaurants in NYC boast a kitchen free of any animal products, and almost every restaurant in London has a variety of plant-based options on the menu. In Japan the change is lagging, but signs that a green transformation is in the making already abound (on August 1st 2018, an article heralding the rise of a plant-based diet in Japan appeared in the Nikkei).====TICKETS・ General Admission: 3,000 JPY (including food, drink and goodies!)*Reservation via Peatix page required by 12:00pm (noon) on 6th September. Tickets will not be sold on the door. There are limited places, so secure your spot early to avoid disappointment!FACEBOOK EVENT PAGELOCATIONNagatacho GRID東京都千代田区平河町2-5-3LANGUAGEEnglish only===ABOUT VEGGINO: Veggino was founded in 2018 by 4 fellow INSEAD MBA alumni with the aim of Spreading the Green Lifestyle In Japan (more information at www.veggino.jp). We believe a wide gap still exists between the variety of benefits offered by the plant-based lifestyle, and the people who take advantage of these benefits. Through educating, raising awareness, and opening minds, we intend to bridge that gap and unlock the full potential of this innovative lifestyle on a both personal and societal level. *Tavelmout is virgin raw spirulina.
