Celebrate World Vegetarian Day!

It’s World Vegetarian Day On 1 October!  The celebration of all things vegetarian!

The purpose of this day is to promote the joy, compassion and the life-enhancing possibilities of adopting a well-balanced vegetarian diet.

Benefits of eating less meat

Did you know that eating less meat and more plants can:

1. Prevent a host of diseases such as heart disease, certain cancers and diabetes
2. Help the waist line and prevent obesity
3. Reduce your environmental impact and carbon footprint
4. Save you money!

Start small

How about Meatless Monday?  Meatless Monday’s simple message to “skip meat once a week”. It’s an opportunity to “reset” and get back on track after any lapses over the weekend. Studies show people that get back on track at the beginning of the week are better able to maintain progress over time. It is backed in science and research by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Center for a Livable Future.
