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小时内不吃肉吗？每年的十月一日宣示着世界素食日的到来，在接下来的一个月内，庆祝素食的生活方式。

    每年的十月一日是世界素食日。这一天，参与者努力在24小时内不吃肉类，宣传一个月的素食欢宴与庆祝。这是为尝试新的生活方式的新来者而设计的，也是为已经采取这种新的生活方式的人举行的庆祝。

    世界素食日是北美素食会于1977设立的，并于其成立第二年得到国际素食联盟的支持。

    据素食日网站称，素食日的设立是用来提升素食主义的乐趣，激情和增强生命的可能性的。

    该组织还创建了一个脸谱网事件，用来宣传素食日。然而，脸谱网事件却以罐头猪肉为起始点，并有4000以上的人被网站创始人不予任何提示的情况下邀请过来做答辩。

    这真是个有趣的主意而且用一天的时间来尝试一些新的东西并没有什么坏处。在那里有很多的美味而健康的素食膳食自由享用，所以下一个十月一日我将选什么做晚餐呢。
