How did you celebrate World Vegetarian Day 2010?This year, the 3rd Annual Totally Fabulous Vegan Bake-Off sold 600 tickets, shared 3,434 samples of vegan treats and awarded 21prizes including 1 Best in Show title.It was a very sweet celebration of compassion.  World Vegetarian Day was established to promote the joy, compassion and life-enhancing possibilities of vegetarianism. We celebrate to bring awareness to the ethical, environmental, health and humanitarian benefit of vegetarian lifestyles (why, thank you, wikipedia). Sounds like an excellent excuse for a party.
The event has grown a lot over the past three years. In year one, a few great friends indulged Lisa Pitman's fantasy of having a vegan fair - with pie contests and beautiful ribbons. It was an opportunity to bring a community of people together to celebrate how joyful and satisfying it can be to live according to your values. And, we believe that there is no better outreach tool than delicious food.
