拟售烤鸡店推广素食业 陈志远茹素改变商道
报道:宋秀英
(吉隆坡11日讯)成功集团创办人丹斯里陈志远于7年前茹素后,如今积极推广素食,甚至考虑脱售Kenny Rogers Roasters(KRR)烤鸡店业务,减少销售肉类食品。
陈志远说,他于2015年前往台湾花莲拜访慈济创办人证严法师时,在后者指引下,从此踏上素食之路,如今不论是身体和心理都更健康。
他于周六在2022年亚太食品创新挑战记者会上分享茹素心得时说,许多人对素食存有误解,以为素食者只吃蔬菜、沙律等,事实上植物性饮食如椰浆饭、叻沙非常美味及健康,让他感觉良好。
他指吉隆坡成功时代广场酒店咖啡厅(Berjaya Cafe)相信是国内唯一提供素食的五星级酒店,自2018年转为素食餐厅后,至今接待超过15万名顾客。
“当年我向董事局及管理层建议把成功酒店咖啡厅转换为素食餐厅时,一度被质疑失去了理智,这做法将让酒店住客感到失望,因为无法享用他们想吃的食物。
“许多素食团体及素食者都前来支持,反而鼓励更多人转为茹素。”
陈志远说,目前我国仅有5至6%素食者,希望在少数人长期推动下,加上市面上提供更多健康美味素食餐饮,让素食者比率提高到70至80%。
目睹待宰牛只眼眶含泪
“动物是在充满压力下被屠杀,因此荤食及海鲜含有许多毒素!”
陈志远回忆当年他争取麦当劳进驻大马的特许经营权时,必须到外国的麦当劳工厂接受培训的事迹。
“当时我很穷,并相信争取到麦当劳特许经营权将让我变得富有,我在麦当劳工厂亲眼目睹待杀的牛只眼眶含泪,我闭上双眼,什么都不想,因为(当时)要得到经营权。”
他表示,今天的他不再贫穷,因此会考虑脱售Kenny Rogers Roasters(KRR)烤鸡店业务,希望不再售卖荤食。
无论如何,陈志远认为,在商业领域,人们对荤食还是有需求,因此不可能把成功集团旗下所有饮食业务转变为素食。
ProVeg办食品创新挑战赛
全球食品组织ProVeg international举办2022年ProVeg食品创新挑战赛,总奖金高达1万美元(约4万5000令吉),旨在鼓励大学生加速创新植物性食品。
这比赛首奖将获得3000美元,有两份次奖(1500美元)、3份三奖(1000美元)及5份决赛奖(200美元)。
ProVeg亚洲董事经理鲁秀仪在2022年亚太食品创新挑战记者会上说,植物性饮食在亚洲拥有巨大机会,若要用这机会改变饮食结构,创新是关键,而这些产品不仅应面向纯素食者,也应面向普通消费者。
比赛报名截止日期为10月25日,欲知详情者可浏览http://food-innovation-challenge.proveg.com/。
