Actress Pamela Anderson Urges PM Modi To Promote Veganism In India
Canadian-American actress and honorary director of PETA US Pamela Anderson wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking him to serve vegan food at all government meetings functions.
In the letter, where she addresses the severe air pollution in Delhi, she asked Modi to lead India’s fight against climate change by embracing veganism. She wrote:
"I know you share my concern for the future, so please lead India's fight against climate change by taking a simple but forceful, progressive step: Ban animal-derived foods from all government meetings and functions. Converting animals into meat and breeding more and more cows because humans are addicted to dairy are contributing to our shared environmental crisis worldwide. With your country's innovation and agricultural history, I'm sure that India-produced soy and other versatile foods can easily replace these damaging foods."
She went on to highlight the imminent danger climate change poses to India, with 36 million Indians at risk of annual coastal flooding. She added, “The easiest thing to change is our menus,” praising India’s cuisine and saying that it is “one of the easiest places on Earth to be vegan.”
She also wrote about measures being taken in countries around the world, (including New Zealand, Germany and China) to cut down meat and dairy consumption. Last month, Anderson wrote to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau asking him to serve vegan meals in prisons.
