THE Vegetarian Society of Singapore (VSS) wants to spread its creed among youth and has roped in a dozen Raffles Institution (RI) students for the job.

The boys, all in Secondary 3 in RI's Integrated Programme (IP), will spread awareness about health and environmental problems caused by eating and producing meat. They will do so by giving talks and mounting exhibitions in schools.

Their mission: To get fellow students to eat more vegetables and cut down on their meat intake by year's end. With help from VSS, they will also try to get canteen stall owners on board by suggesting ways of including more greens in their menus.
