為了推廣吃素,我會開始分享些平常我吃的食物,讓大家看到食物不一定要有肉才好吃。

Why eat vegan / vegetarian?

Here is an article from The Univeristy of Oxford which explains the reason why there needs to be “A global switch to diets that rely less on meat and more on fruit and vegetables”.

很多人告訴我,如果不吃肉,營養就會不夠。

Here are some articles talking about whether vegetarians / vegans can get enough of the following:

以下是一些關於吃素者能不能吸收充分營養的文章:

I have been vegan/vegetarian since I was 8. I am 183cm and I was running up to 14+km as well as bench pressing 90+kg. I also have won two tennis trophies in the Brisbane Hardcourt Tennis Associan Pennat Reserve (PR) grade as well as competing and performing in partner dancing.

我從八歲就開始吃素。我身高183公分,長跑14多公里,握推90多公斤,贏過布里斯班BHTA網球比賽PR級兩次,並多次參加社交舞比賽。

If I did not have enough nutrition, I doubt I could do all of these things.

如果我的營養不夠,要做這些事恐怕很難。

So, why do you eat meat?

所以,你吃肉的原因是什麼?
