Could you do without meat for 24 hours? Every year October 1st heralds World Vegetarian Day followed by a month of celebrating the vegetarian way of life.

    October 1st every year heralds World Vegetarian Day. A day in which participants strive to keep meat free for 24 hours and heralds a month of vegetarian festivals and celebration. It's designed to tempt newcomers towards trying the way of life and a celebration for those that have already adopted it.

    World Vegetarian Day was established by the North American Vegetarian Society in 1977 and was supported by the international vegetarian union a year later.

    According to the days website 'it was created to promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism.' The group also created a Facebook event which they used to publicise the day. It does, however, come in the verge of spam with over four thousand people on 'awaiting reply' which means the site organisers have invited them, most likely without any indication.

    It's an interesting idea and it doesn't hurt to try something new for a day. There are plenty of tasty and healthy vegetarian meals out there, freely available online so time to pick what I'll be having for dinner next October 1st.

    你能做到24小時內不吃肉嗎？每年的十月一日宣示著世界素食日的到來，在接下來的一個月內，慶祝素食的生活方式。

    每年的十月一日是世界素食日。這一天，參與者努力在24小時內不吃肉類，宣傳一個月的素食歡宴與慶祝。這是為嘗試新的生活方式的新來者而設計的，也是為已經采取這種新的生活方式的人舉行的慶祝。

    世界素食日是北美素食會于1977設立的，并于其成立第二年得到國際素食聯盟的支持。

    據素食日網站稱，素食日的設立是用來提升素食主義的樂趣，激情和增強生命的可能性的。

    該組織還創建了一個臉譜網事件，用來宣傳素食日。然而，臉譜網事件卻以罐頭豬肉為起始點，并有4000以上的人被網站創始人不予任何提示的情況下邀請過來做答辯。

    這真是個有趣的主意而且用一天的時間來嘗試一些新的東西并沒有什么壞處。在那里有很多的美味而健康的素食膳食自由享用，所以下一個十月一日我將選什么做晚餐呢。
