Team V - A Group Picture At Beyond Veggie Restaurant

Team V - It was a good sharing outing at Beyond Veggie Restaurant.



Today, the running group for Team V got bigger, and we had to put different timing for two different groups. 

After our long run, a group of us came to a decision to down to Beyond Veggie Restaurant to take our lunch. We ordered different dishes for ourselves to our taste. 

I met some of the runners who were interesting. One of them by the name of Chua Jing Zhi is a vegan triathlete. He has been featured in a magazine that Kenny Lee is holding in the picture that I have put in this blog post. 

From Jing Zhi, I realised that he is able to train to consume a vegan diet and it was interesting to hear this. Marcel, brought me aside and suggested to me that it would be good to feature him in our blog post and he would like to interview this gentleman. I told him to go ahead with this and the idea looks great. 

Another person I met was Ann Lee, who is Kenny's sister. She was all the time smiling. I believe that the smile coming from the vegan diet that she has been taking. In fact, throughout our conversation, we were smiling all the way. We also were with Chin Peng, 51, who was able to go up to 18km in his run today. Over time, I can see his physique that is changing to an athletic one.

I also met Shi Min and Desmond Chan, where both are running a shop and they sell vegan food for pets, such as dogs and cats. Desmond told me that the dogs that took vegan diet are usually healthier and they have good skin and they look younger. I was amazed at the thought that dogs have a vegan diet that they can take and it will enable them to look healthier. 

I told Desmond that I would like to feature on a vegan diet to the public in my blog post so that they are aware that there is a vegan diet that they can give to their pets. I decided to write on this, as it has become an important project for me, after learning that dogs are able to consume a vegan diet and will be healthy at the same time.
