World Vegetarian Day is October first.  This kicks off vegetarian awareness month.  I'm not really sure why there needs to be an awareness month though, since mostly everyone knows vegetarians exist and awareness months are usually for cancers and autism.  

In spite of there being no lack of awareness of us, Vegetarian Day is still kind of fun.  Wear your vegetarian-related t-shirts and make something tasty for your co-workers, and of course for yourself, and spread everything that is positive in your lifestyle. 

All of you out there who aren't vegetarians, spend the day exploring meat-free meals and find out a little about your herbivore friends. 

I'm not trying to convert anyone here, but try it for a day and get a glimpse into the meat-free world around us.  You might see how fun and healthy it is to live a more compassionate lifestyle.
