Today is World Vegetarian Day. Any meat-eaters out there tempted to join the growing number of vegetarians and vegans in this country or at least try to reduce their meat consumption? According to the link below one in eight British adults are now vegetarian.

I was confused, i'd never met herbivore.
Wimpy? I figured it was more about promoting a cause, and and why not? Whether you agree with it or not, there are perfectly valid arguments in favour of vegetarianism.
Yes, there's tons of good stuff around these days. It's refreshing to have more options when I'm out for a meal than omelette and chips.
Agreed. I can tell the difference since I became a vegetarian nearly 30 years ago. Although, I think there's still limited choices for vegans.
I turned veggie 35 years ago and I agree, these days it is so easy, I have been vegan for 16 years now and it is still a struggle to get vegan food, and eating out is extremely limited, I am hoping that that as we grow in number, and we are growing in number, then demand will soon be met.
Vegetarians don't eat meat but are fine with dairy. Vegans don't eat meat or dairy or any product that comes from a living creature, not even honey.
To celebrate world vegetarian day I'm going to buy a family sized mixed grill from the kebab shop on my way home from work.
I'm an omnivore who regularly has days without meat, but there is something about having a "vegetarian day" that puts me off. At least, I don't like a suggestion that today I should be veggie, because it somehow suggests that a day without meat turns you into a vegetarian for the day.
IMO, this sort of thing would be better pitched at restaurants and cafes, because as an omnivore, I still think the veggie selection is lacking in a lot of restaurants, and over-priced for what you get. I know it's better than it used to be, but often when I eat out I fancy something without meat, but quickly realise there isn't anything I fancy. The angle could be to encourage places to have an extra veggie special on the menu etc.
Thanks for that. Seems like an awful lot of work.
I have called a World Farting Day for October 23rd
Quite apt given the pulse/bean-related diet of many veggies I guess;-)
In what way? you mean cooking? not really, we can be as lazy as meat eaters when we wish, almost everything you can buy made of meat, I can buy a vegan version.
It is difficult to eat out though, as there is still a lot of ignorance over what we eat.
If we combine Vegetarian Day and Farting Day, we can really raise a stink
Medium rare, please.
