The fourteenth
National Vegetarian Week aimed to celebrate vegetarianism in
its broadest sense and prompt media discussion on the topics
of vegetarian food, health benefits, lifestyle and commitment.
The range of veggie food stuffs and products just keeps on growing,
provision for vegetarians when dining out is getting better and
better and people are taking much more of an interest in the food
that they eat and how it is produced. As a result vegetarianism
today is no longer seen as something cranky or hippy, but instead,
very much part of the mainstream. Go into any supermarket in the
UK and you will find aisle upon aisle stacked full of delicious
veggie food products.
As well as an increasingly huge range of
exotic fruit and vegetables on display, almost all supermarkets
now have exclusively vegetarian freezer sections storing vegetarian
sausages, bacon, burgers, mince, stir-fry pieces, fillets, pies
and other meat alternatives. In fact becoming a vegetarian has
never been easier, tastier or more nutritious. So if you’re
looking for fresh ideas and some inspiration to take you forward
towards a more compassionate lifestyle choice you are already in
the right place.
