Happy Hug A Vegetarian Day (From Groovy Veg)

September 26th, 2008

I bet you didn’t know that today is International Hug A Vegetarian Day. This is an annual holiday created for all us fabulous vegetarians, to appreciate and HUG one another. As i am all about peace and love, this particular groovy holiday is right up my alley.

Hug A Vegetarian day is brought to you by the omni-present guys and gals of PETA. They seem to have a series of days for us non-meat eaters, they really know how to shower us with Holidays. LoL.

Be sure to give all your vegetarian friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, church mates, (and others) a big fat hug. And if they are far and away, send them an e-hug.
