On the first of October every year, we celebrate World Vegetarian Day. It was first started in 1977 by the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS). The aim behind this day is to "promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism." It is a day to enjoy being vegetarian and to share the pleasures and health benefits of being vegetarian with other people. Celebrating it should centre around food. There are some starter ideas for you to try here.
