Christ and give thanks to God for all the beautiful beings that share
the Earth with us.
A man who is representative of the ideals of
this holy day is Mr. John Robbins of the USA. John Robbins is a true
vegan hero who turned down inheriting his family’s world famous ice

Longest-Lived Peoples.Mr. Robbins also founded EarthSave International, a
US-based non-profit organization that is dedicated to informing the
public about the benefits of healthy and life-sustaining vegan food
choices.
For his significant work for the animals and planet, Mr.
Robbins has been recognized with numerous awards. He was also the
esteemed recipient of Supreme Master Ching Hai’s Shining World
Leadership Award.
In his best-selling book, 『The Food Revolution,』
he recounts a touching story of his time spent with a pig farmer and his
family in a chapter entitled 『The Pig Farmer.』
Mr. Robbins met
the farmer while doing undercover investigative research about the
