Eat less meat and seafood, and contribute to environmental protection.
This is a key message that the Green Food Fair 2012, to be 🔴held in d🅷owntown HCM City fromSept. 11-14, seeks to impart✃, particularly to the youth of Vietnam.
The four-day fair that focuses on health, environment and "expressing gratitude to Mother", will be held at the ci♑ty's Youth Cultural House.
Nguyen Van Nha, chairman of the Vietnam Hy Ma Lap Son Company Ltd., which is organising the🔴 event, said eating too much meat and seafood c✤ould cause many diseases while depleting scarce natural resources.
Livestock breeding is a significant generator of greenhouse gases, he said.
꧟ The fair, which has 50 food stalls, 𝐆offers the opportunity for companies producing "green food" to promote their products, Nha said.
At least 120 dishes in Vietnamese,Asian and European cuisine will be offered 🐬at 30 stalls run byrestaurants, pagodas and vegetarian food processing companies in the city♊.
Since the fair targets the youth, the food offered will mostly be fast food items, said 💛Nguy🐓en Thi Thanh Loan, general manager of the company.
She said the dishes would inclu♓de banh bao (dumpling), banh beo (bloating fern-shaped cake) and banh gio (pyramidal rice dumpling) from Vietnam , Ital🍸ian pasta and pizza, Indian curry, Japanese sushi and Thailand rice vermicel꧟li.
"Clean food" processing companies like Thao Dien Clean Vegetable🐷s,Song Xanh, Hoa Sua Rice and Ohsawa Chan Nguyen will also participate in the fair.
Several kinds of organic rice cultivated without the use of chemical insecticides or herbicide will be displayed at 🌞the fair.
This kind of ricཧe requires a long time and more care than normal to cultivate, so they cost two times as much ꧙as normal rice, Loan said.
The f🏅air will also have other raw materials needed to cook vegetarian food and beverages.
Doctor Bui Viet Hoang will🤡 deliver a talk titled Eating Vegetarian Food, The Things You May Not Know at 3.30pm on the first day.
Ly Sanh, chairman of H🐬CM City 's Chefs Association, will be the judge for the competition Cooking with Famous People that will be held at 2pm on the third day.
Besides the stalls, the fair will host several performance activities🔯.
Around 300 visitors are expected to join a candle light vigil to express gratitud▨e to mothers at 7.30pm on the third day.
