En tan sólo cinco años, esa situación ha cambiado radicalmente a causa de un pequeño grupo de gente dedicada a difundir ampliamente el concepto de vegetarianismo por toda Malta. La Sociedad Vegetariana en sí misma posee ahora unos 300 miembros y ha habido un aumento tan grande del interés reforzado también por la industria turística que la mayoría de restaurantes incluyen ahora un menú vegetariano. Desde el principio, la sociedad puso el máximo énfasis sobre la necesidad de educar al público y por consiguiente de publicar tanta información como sea posible de forma ampliamente accesible. Además de un boletín mensual para los miembros, la sociedad publica una revista gratuita tres o cuatro veces al año en el idioma maltés. Esto ha sido sumamente fructífero a la hora de llegar al 50 % estimado de la población que no lee inglés, y como Malta es pequeña el mensaje vegetariano ha alcanzado todos los rincones de la isla. Esto a su vez ha atraido a muchos nuevos miembros y participantes en las actividades de la sociedad, que incluyen reuniones sociales, comidas, discusiones públicas y otros eventos. ![logo](https://ivu.org/images/legacy/history/news/2-97/6-stlta2.gif)Un acontecimiento habitual en el calendario de la sociedad es el programa de "Reverencia por la Vida" en octubre. Las actividades incluyen una caseta a las puertas de la ciudad de Valletta, proyecciones de vídeos, funciones vegetarianas, etc. En la última ocasión, una pacífica marcha solidaria a través de la ciudad junto con grupos ecologistas y de derechos animales, incluyendo Ananda Marga y Island Sanctuary, acompañada con eslogans positivos, música y canciones, fue una ocasión tan agradable y fructífera que es probable que se convierta en un evento habitual. Como en la mayoría de las sociedades, todo el trabajo está realizado por voluntarios y los cinco primeros años han sido una verdadera lucha. Sin embargo, los resultados han sido fantásticos. Los artículos en la prensa local y la participación en programas de radio y televisión han tenido resultados tan positivos que existe ahora al menos un vegetariano en virtualmente cada lugar de trabajo de Malta. Especialmente alentadora ha sido la cantidad de profesores que se han afiliado a la sociedad, puesto que están muy bien situados para educar e informar a las generaciones más jóvenes. A menudo la sociedad es consultada por escuelas que buscan información y la respuesta de la juventud maltesa con mentalidad maravillosamente abierta ha superado con creces las expectativas. Ahora que la bola se ha puesto a rodar, se asegurarán de que no se detenga. Los miembros de la sociedad envían saludos a los vegetarianos de todo el mundo, y especialmente a aquellos que dedican tiempo y esfuerzo a conseguir el hermoso ideal de un mundo vegetariano. Los seres humanos han de llegar a entender que deben comer sólo aquellos alimentos que tengan un efecto beneficioso sobre cuerpo, mente y espíritu, y a comprender que todas las formas de vida - humanos, animales, aves, peces, plantas - tienen derecho a ser tratadas con respeto. Esos principios básicos, junto con una firme determinación de triunfar, traerán finalmente la revolución de conciencia tan urgentemente necesitada por el planeta Tierra y todos sus habitantes. *\[Basado en información aportada por **Katherine y George Azzopardi** de la Sociedad Vegetariana de Malta.\]* --- Toda contribución a IVU News será bienvenida.

The history section of this website is drawn from a body of legacy content originally compiled by John Davis, former manager of the International Vegetarian Union. It represents his curation of historical material, and in places includes passages written by him directly. Over the years, the IVU website has migrated between several different hosting servers. In the course of these migrations, a number of PDF files were unfortunately lost, and **some links to PDF documents may no longer function**. Where this is the case, we have chosen to leave the original link text in place, as it may itself carry information of historical value. - Hits: 1224 ### Vegan Recipes - [![VEGAN RICE BOWL](https://ivu.org/media/zoo/images/th10%20571_0fdb76ef8b1e4dae31bc00def9fa690b.jpg "VEGAN RICE BOWL")](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-rice-bowl.html "VEGAN RICE BOWL") #### [VEGAN RICE BOWL](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/item/vegan-rice-bowl.html "VEGAN RICE BOWL") [Main course](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/main-course-for-lunch-and-dinner.html) [Rice](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/rice.html) [Vietnam](https://ivu.org/vegan-recipes-around-the-world/vegan-food-academy/front-page/category/vietnam.html) -
