Food, glorious food

The theme for National Poetry Day on 7th October 2004 was Food and what could be more inspiring? At the Vegetarian Society we think this is a wonderful opportunity for students to discuss food and vegetarianism through the medium of creative writing. By following the links below, teachers will find lesson ideas that deal with food issues as varied as personal choice, food and the family, and even food and relationships.
