Vegetarian Star

Meat eaters who will forgo the hamburger on most days and opt for the pasta with “wheat” balls are on the rise.

According to a new study discussed in The Mirror, record numbers of flexitarians, or people who eat vegetarian sometimes are forming.

Sales of  products such as fake meats have doubled over the last decade in the UK, according to the Vegetarian Society.

“The real growth area is in ‘meat reducers’ – those who haven’t given up meat completely but who are making a conscious effort to eat less of it,” said Su Taylor, a spokesperson for the company.

There are different ways to incorporate a part-time vegetarian lifestyle.

Treehugger founder Graham Hill follows a weekday vegetarian plan, while author Mark Bittman recommends a “vegan until 6” deal.

Still, others eliminate some animal products entirely, like red meat and dairy, replacing them with plant based alternatives.

Show your pride, everybody. Be veg and be proud cause it’s National Vegetarian Week!

National Vegetarian Week is an annual event designed to raise awareness of the benefits of a meat free diet.

So take your tofu sandwiches to work and waive it your co-workers faces. Start conversations about rennet and cheese. If you’re really brave, wear some lettuce wraps and walk around town. Er, maybe not. It’s getting hot outside and lettuce wilts…then shrinks. Don’t want to spend the week in jail, now.

For more information about National Vegetarian Week, visit the Vegetarian Society at vegsoc.org.

Paul McCartney is giving the thumbs up to the Vegetarian Society for using his late wife Linda’s recipes in its new cooking classes.

“It’s fabulous to see a course inspired by Linda and her recipes, which will in turn, hopefully, inspire cooks of the future,” McCartney said. “Those of us in her family are very proud that the Vegetarian Society has chosen to honour Linda in this way.”

The Cordon Vert School is located in the headquarters of the Vegetarian Society in London.

The curriculum will be officially launched later this month, and the actual courses will be offered in May, August, and October.

Linda McCartney was a longtime vegetarian and activist who inspired Paul to become one. She published vegetarian cookbooks and started her own line of frozen vegetarian foods, which was recently revamped with help from the McCartney family.
