Greetings, magnificent viewers! Today on Vegetarianism:
The Noble Way of Living, we are pleased to offer you the story of a young entrepreneur driven to serve his community and change the world for the better,
one delectable vegetarian meal at a time.

Ian(m): Instead of getting out on the streets and protesting the fur industry, I felt like taking another stance, and that was towards the environment,
for health, and wellbeing, as well as for spiritual development, as well as for animal rights.
HOST: To achieve these ideals, it was important for Ian to offer guests a memorable dining experience, one that leaves a positive impression on vegetarian cuisine.

Ian(m): They come in and they willingly consume something. Within that process my hope is that they alter their state of consciousness even a little bit, so that our world can become a more peaceful, happy place filled with healthier people, a more positive attitude, and definitely less sacrificing for these animals who we should be sharing this Earth with instead of competing with.
