10.01.13 World Vegetarian Day Lunch

World Vegetarian Day takes place on October 1 and is the celebration established by the North American Vegetarian Society in 1977. It was created to show the joy, compassion and life enhancing properties of vegetarianism. World Vegetarian Day initiates the month of October as Vegetarian Awareness Month which ends on November 1, World Vegan day.

Vegetarianism is the practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat - red meat, poultry, seafood and the flesh of any other animal; it may also include abstention from by-products of animal slaughter. Many object to eating meat out of respect for sentient life, others its a matter of personal health, vegetarianism can be adopted for a variety of reasons.

Today little S has a vegetarian lunch in honor of vegetarians everywhere.
