The Vegetarian Society is the world’s oldest vegetarian organization with its headquarters in the United Kingdom. This educational charitable institution advocates vegetarianism and promotes the understanding of vegetarian lifestyle.

The Vegetarian Society offers free information, in-depth advise on issues about nutrition, as well as conduct forums, symposia and other presentations to academic institutions and civic groups that aim to provide understanding on their advocacy to many individuals, entities and other organizations.

In fact, the Vegetarian Society has been so driven in its advocacy program that they reach out to schools distributing packs to make sure that vegetarianism is well incorporated in the Food Technology course. They also teach chefs new and innovative ways to cook up vegetarian food that are not only nutritious, but delicious and mouthwatering as well. Moreover, the Vegetarian Society also works hand in hand with different sectors in the food industry, appealing food manufacturers, suppliers and sellers to support their cause as well.

The Vegetarian Society is also bent on raising awareness on vegetarianism through its projects and campaigns. Their environmental campaign stresses vegetarianism’s important role to the environment. With being a vegetarian, you can greatly contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, preservation of ecosystems and conservation of land and water as well. Another project called ‘Fishconceptions’ provides the general public the knowledge and understanding of one wrong notion that vegetarians eat fish.

Their Christmas project also provides new and exciting recipes that can substitute the usual turkey or any other meat food that is usually laid on the dinner table during the holiday season. Moreover, the Vegetarian Society seeks to create an applicable legal definition of the term vegetarian to solidify its thrust at making the term more significant in law.

Perhaps the most celebrated project of the Vegetarian Society is the National Vegetarian week, which is done every year. The National Vegetarian week, considered as the biggest and much awaited week in UK’s vegetarian calendar comes with a wide variety of special activities, events and promotions that gain national press and media coverage across the world.

Other than becoming a vegetarian yourself, you can also go a long way with being on the green by supporting the Vegetarian Society. You can sign up to be a volunteer or donate funds into the organization. Your support can go a long way at sending a message to people that going vegetarian is a healthier and better way of living.
