World Vegan Organization (WVO) Successfully Holds International Vegan Carnaval 2024 and The 11th WVO Conference, at One Mall Batam, Sunday, October 13, 2024.
This activity, which educates and introduces the Vegan lifestyle, is full of various interesting events, ranging from a healthy exercise parade, angklung music to a healthy food bazaar.
President of World Vegan Organization, Dr. Drs. Susianto, said that the purpose of this activity is to popularize a plant-based vegan diet, or vegetables and fruits. When viewed in research, this plant-based diet is very helpful in preventing deadly diseases, such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension including cancer. "Consuming plant-based foods is safer because it does not contain cholesterol compared to eating meat," he said. He also said that this International Vegan Carnaval was deliberately held at One Mall Batam, because the mall is the most suitable place. This means that in addition to the invited guests, there are also mall visitors who can join to find out what a healthy lifestyle is. "So, this is the best place to socialize a healthy lifestyle," he said.
Furthermore, the Chairman of the Indonesian Child Protection Agency and the World Vegan Organization Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Seto Mulyadi, said that he had started a healthy lifestyle for fifty-seven years, namely by consuming vegan food.
"I have been living a healthy lifestyle for 57 years by consuming vegan food," he concluded.
For information, the 2024 International Vegan Carnaval activity, which was held by WVO Indonesia at One Batam Mall, was opened for three days starting from the 11th and closing on October 13, 2024
