Vegetarian Star

“I am 51, but look younger. My ­doctor thinks it is my veganism – I’ve been vegan since I was 13. I try not to have fried food and don’t drink ­alcohol or smoke. I also do yoga and t’ai chi. It’s important to learn how to be relaxed; if you are tense and miserable, it stamps itself on your face.”

—-Benjamin Zephaniah in The Guardian.

Poet Benjamin Zephaniah recently interviewed with the UK Times Online and revealed when he visits China, he’s often challenged in several ways, including his vegan diet. 

“When I got to China I found I was being challenged in really interesting ways. For instance, I always believed that everybody in China had only one child. But I kept meeting people with six children. And it’s challenging being a vegan in China, like I am — but the best vegan restaurant I’ve come across in the world is in Beijing.”

Sure wish Benjamin had mentioned that awesome vegan restaurant in Beijing. It might come in handy for some of you international travelers.

Have you had any overseas veg dieting challenges?
