World Vegetarian Day
October 1 · Level 8 · #460 of 2238
World Vegetarian Day explores meat-free eating and the reasons people choose it, from animal welfare to environmental concerns and dietary preferences. It is also an invitation to discover a good meal built around plants, whether or not you plan to change your everyday menu.
How it is celebrated: groups host tastings, cooking classes and food discussions. Cafés offer vegetarian dishes, while home cooks exchange recipes starring vegetables, beans and grains.
This day is an opening course: it begins Vegetarian Awareness Month, which runs throughout October.
