Since 1977, October 1st has marked World Vegetarian Day. The aim… to bring awareness to the ethical, health and environmental benefits of a plant-based diet. Expos like this one in Wellington, New Zealand provide a platform for giving meatless fare a try and to highlight some of the more perplexing issues around this hotly disputed subject. [Peter Sankoff, University of Auckland Faculty of Law]: “The best way to help animals is not by relying on the law, but by going vegetarian and making a change to your personal lifestyle.” But the problem of animal welfare is only the tip of this melting iceberg. Research is proving that a major contributor to climate change is our hunger for steak on the dinner plate. According to a U.N. report on global warming, almost one fifth of this earth’s entire greenhouse gas emissions come from the livestock trade — that exceeds the total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by every mode of transport on this planet. The solution, according to experts, is a plant-based diet — news some meat eaters may find hard to swallow. [Peter Leitch, Mad Butcher Chain Owner]: “Well I think you need to eat meat, it’s part of our tradition, part of our life. We’re meat eaters.” Peter Leitch, is pictured here with New Zealand’s former Prime Minister Helen Clarke. He has become an icon for his successful company The Mad Butcher meat chain. Peter didn’t have too many comments on the environmental side of the meat industry and recommended we leave the decisions to the politicians. But a meat diet for him has lead to good health. [Peter Leitch, Mad Butcher Chain Owner]: “Look at me would you think I’m 65, look at me I look 21 and I could fight anyone. Bring on David Tour.” But health aside it’s still seems tough to ignore environmental research. According to one of New Zealand’s leading organic magazines a staggering 49% of greenhouse emissions in this country comes from agriculture. International Manager of Meat and Wool New Zealand sees this as a serious issue. [Ben O'Brien, International Manager of Meat and Wool NZ]: “We need to work seriously at it in order to make sure that we can have some effect on the reduction of green house gas emissions whilst at the same time obviously our family farmers continue to make a living for themselves on the land.” But as vegetarians would contend, the modern methods of factory farming where the common goal is to grow meat big and fast may take its toll, as people’s appetite for more could end up costing the Earth. Gina Shakespeare, NTD, Wellington, New Zealand.

Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan has dressed up in a gown made of lettuce leaves to promote a greener, vegetarian diet in China. Gao promised to stop eating meat after her pet dog suffered food poisoning two years ago.

As meat consumption continues to rise, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also known as PETA, has hired Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan to encourage consumers to go vegetarian.

Gao has become the ‘Lettuce Lady’, draped in a gown made of lettuce leaves and a red chili pepper necklace.

Gao says she became a vegetarian in November 2009 after her dog was hospitalized for food poisoning. She promised to stop eating meat for a year if her pet survived.

[Gao Yuanyuan, Chinese Actress]:
“After going vegetarian, I feel so much lighter. When I first started the vegetarian diet, I was not used to it and so I ate starchy foods in big amounts so I gained a little bit of weight. Still, I felt much more energetic. After that, I regained my figure and stopped gaining weight, and that has remained consistent.”

Vegetables have historically been a big part of the Chinese diet, but as incomes and living standards rise among China’s growing middle class, more people are eating more meat.

Activists say China’s soaring demand for meat has resulted in various health problems.

[Jason Baker, Vice President, PETA Asia]:
“The per capita consumption in China is still lower compared to the Western world, but it’s changing, it’s getting worse. The consumption is going up, and related to that are diseases related to meat consumption — cancer, heart disease.”

Apart from devout Buddhists, vegetarianism has not had a strong following in China.

However, recent food scandals have increased food safety awareness among Chinese consumers, sparking a small number of Chinese to adopt a meat-free diet for health, religious and environmental reasons.
