A day to celebrate healthy, kind, and green living.
Why It Started
World Vegetarian Day began in 1977 to show how eating more plants is good for health, animals, and the planet. It’s now marked every year on October 1.
Live Full, Live Green
World Vegetarian Day is your chance to explore a lifestyle that is nourishing, gentle, and future-forward. Whether you go fully vegetarian or simply start with one meal, every step matters.
Feel Better Inside and Out
Eating plant-based food can help you stay fit, avoid many diseases, and feel more energetic every day.
Help the Planet
Plant-based diets use less water, land, and cause less pollution. Choosing plants helps protect nature.
Be Kind to Animals
This day also reminds us to care for animals. Eating less meat means less harm to living beings.
Power from Plants
Iron, zinc, and omega-3s are all vital. Though plants offer them, absorption can vary.
The Heart of Compassion
World Vegetarian Day is also about choosing empathy. It’s a reminder that every living being shares this earth, and our food choices can reflect kindness without saying a word.
