In today's show, we will have a closer look at the Loving Hut outlets in North America, where we will visit the thriving Loving Hut restaurants and meet their owners and customers in person. Many of the Loving Hut franchises are run by proprietors who you may not expect to be in the restaurant business. With other career backgrounds, these owners and staff renounced their professional stature and security to dedicate their time and efforts to providing vegan meal options to people, in the hope that it will help alleviate the urgent state of our planet. Let's meet some of our vegan hero friends in North America and hear what they have to say about the Loving Hut in Ohio, where the plant-based menu will have your mouth watering and taste buds tingling, with the creative cuisine on offer.

Chef Danielle has won gold medals for plated desserts as well as for petits fours in France’s International Culinary Competition while working as executive chef in Lebanon.

We are very happy to have taken the wonderful journey to two successful Loving Hut vegan restaurants in the beautiful countries of Paraguay and Argentina in South America. It is so encouraging to see that the owners are committed to preparing such delicious cuisines, while at the same time, educating the customers about veganism. Additionally, their menu items are reasonably priced, making them affordable for the general public. This surely helps to attract people to try vegan food more often helping them shift to plant-based eating. We thank everyone who is dedicated to doing so.

We should help anyone in need but I don’t think that we should limit our compassion and our kindness to only human beings, but to extend it to all beings because the truth is that we are all connected, that we are all one. That when we hurt an animal we ultimately hurt ourselves. We encourage you to explore Veggie Channel to discover your own favorites and share them with your family and friends. Veggie Channel has definitely been a significant part of putting Italy on the map of veganism! If on the planet people all began to eat a plant-based diet, the problem of global warming would simply end. We must tell this to the world.

Let’s now make a raw salad. We will make them look like they’ve been sautéed. First, choose the vegetables. Many vegetables can be used. We usually use Chinese kale or Chinese cabbage. Today I have chosen spinach, and we usually use only the leaves as they are more nutritious and taste better. We like to give these vegetables a sautéed effect, but how is it possible without cooking? The trick is that we mix some salty ingredients in the leaves. Those leaves will soften gradually. Then, add oil to make them look like they’ve been sautéed.

Veggie Channel and Scientific Society for Vegetarian Nutrition (SSNV) interviewed vegan families with young children. The series illustrates how well a plant-based diet is suitable and beneficial for the health and wellbeing of children from birth onwards. We will meet Giulia Innocenzi, an animal rights activist and journalist. She hosted a six-part television program entitled, “Animals Like Us” on RAI 2 TV in 2017. For the first time on national television, millions of viewers saw real-life undercover footage revealing the atrocities of animal farms and slaughter houses across Italy.

Veggie Channel is a comprehensive resource platform for people looking for the most up-to-date information on the science and practice of living plant-based. It was at this moment, in 2008, that Veggie Channel was born, covering topics such as iron intake, vitamin B12, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and osteoporosis, how one becomes vegan and master online vegetarian nutrition. I congratulate the Veggie Channel doing this kind of work, and that is basically educating the public. And that’s what we most need.

Beautiful Australia, here the Loving Hut family is well distributed across the country with eight bustling outlets.

Take out the bread, put curry into the bread.

Subsequently, through the loving inspiration of Supreme Master Ching Hai, the foundation of a family of international vegan restaurants was conceived. The plan was to create access to convenient, clean and healthy vegan food, as well as allowing the public to receive more information about how to instantly and easily lead this compassionate lifestyle. Thus, with specific emphasis on the urgency of our planet’s situation and the need to work collectively on a global solution, the great vision of Loving Hut was born. In early 2008, the Loving Hut International Company was established, and by June that year, the first store opened in Taipei City, Taiwan (Formosa).

It's very encouraging and heart-warming to hear from people who have been healed of major diseases and health problems by the 100% whole-food plant-based diets taught at SHARAN. Finding good, fresh produce and healthy, lovingly prepared food products has not always been an easy task. Noticing this concern, the Juhu Organic Farmers Market was organized by SHARAN in association with the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay West and Nature’s Gram. Here, only vegan food. Essentially this is a movement by people. It's awareness of consciousness that is rising all over the world. Be vegan make peace.

SHARAN has a five-point plan; the first is, everything should be plant-based. We are not strict, that don't eat rice or don't eat wheat, but at least, let it be plant-based. Number two is that it should be whole; that means we never use sugar or white flour or white rice or oil. We actually cook without oil. So, we don't use any refined foods and we don't even peel the vegetables. The third is that, we are the only species that sprays poison on our food, so that other animals won't eat it; and then we eat it. No wonder we are sick. And then the last two are check and supplement vitamin B-12 and vitamin D.

First, we are going to mix the cooked mung beans, with fresh pressed coconut milk. So, we mix this. Then we start heating it, and we add the organic jaggery to it for sweetness. So, you keep stirring it and bring it to a boil. You just cook it for a few minutes. Then once it starts boiling, just mix it once in a while. When you add jaggery and then boil the coconut milk. And now we are going to add some cardamom powder for flavor. After adding the cardamom, you don't cook for very long. Just a little boil and then you switch it off. Yes, so the sweet is done. We are going to garnish it with some almond slices. And some raisins. And that's it!

VegFestUK is the United Kingdom's largest vegan event, which keeps getting bigger each year since its humble beginnings in 2003. Where hundreds of exhibitors' stalls were filled with delicious vegan food, compassionate cosmetics and animal-free fashion items. In the UK now that although we have over half a million ethical vegans, that is an accurate figure. The goal with VegFest is to help people understand veganism. When you understand why you should go vegan, you're probably more likely to succeed in going vegan.
