October 21: Celebrate Vegetarian Awareness Month with Amazing Vegetarian Recipes

Although vegetarianism is often thought of as a relatively recent school of thought, we at Dishfolio can confirm that people have been practicing vegetarianism since the time of the Ancient Greeks. Abstaining from eating meat was part of a purification process, and was also thought to have medical benefits.

A study in 2013 found that 13% of American people class themselves as vegetarian. Vegetarian Awareness Month was designed to teach people more about the benefits of leading a vegetarian life, and to offer advice on vegetarian cooking.

Did you know that World Vegetarian Day, which kick-starts Vegetarian Awareness Month, has been celebrated since 1977? Here at Dishfolio, we love the idea of getting more and more people interested in an environmentally-friendly lifestyle. Vegetarian online food recipes are readily available, so why not look up some meat-free quick and easy family dinner recipes in the spirit of Vegetarian Awareness Month?
