Nutritious food to promote vegetarianism

In an era, animals, people, are no more than digits in a balance sheet in many large trading organisations in the world. Sunanda Paranagama Weerasinghe has chosen her livelihood to propagate non-violence by offering healthy nutritious vegetarian food products under her own brand, Super sun and Classic brand.

Vegetarian nutrition is far more healthier to the body and mind alike. A true follower of Lord Buddha's philosophy who can analyze the first precept invariably becomes a vegetarian.
