Isle
of Wight Vegetarians & Vegans are supporters of HIPPO
The function
of HIPPO is to encourage and facilitate the use of plant protein foods instead
of animal foods. It helps poor communities to produce their own food and to be self-sufficient.
The importance of these aims will be readily understood by those who know how
wasteful it is to use land and water resources to keep livestock when people
could eat plant food direct.
To use only or
mainly plant proteins makes sound sense ecologically and is also kinder to
animals, but HIPPO is just as keen to emphasise the potential health, hygiene
and economic benefits for the people who adopt such a life-style.
HIPPO is
developing strong links with individuals and organisations in several African
countries, busy providing advice and assistance in the production and supply of
foods, especially soya foods (non-GMO of course!) for some of the poorest
people in the world. HIPPO is also contributing funds to an orphanage in Kenya
where the children are being raised as vegan.
HIPPO will be
delighted to send further information to potential supporters.
