Ahh! Tomorrow is “Hug a Vegetarian” Day! Are you prepared?! We’re busy putting the finishing touches on our Los Angeles event—and if you’re still trying to think of ways to make this the best “Hug a Vegetarian” Day ever, we’re here for ya!
Check out my fave ways to celebrate the greatest day of the year:
1) Online. Before you hit the hallway tomorrow, spread the word about “Hug a Vegetarian” Day online! Change your Facebook timeline cover to this one to let all your Facebook friends know the deal!
2) With food. OK, everyone loves to eat, right?! This year, peta2 partnered with the vegan-meat experts at Gardein (they make veggie burgers, vegan chicken tenders, vegan pulled pork, and way, waaaaaaay more) to offer $1 off any Gardein product! You can find their delish vegan meats at Target, Whole Foods, and your local grocery store. Whip up some veggie burgers, invite your friends over, and hug it up!
3) At school. Duh! This is the best way to get your hug on and spread the word about how positive, fun, and simple it is to be vegan. Our signs make it easy to send the message to all your friends—vegetarians and nonvegetarians alike! Grab some signs and make sure you snap lots of photos at school tomorrow! Did we mention that you’ll get 1,000 points? Sweet!
How will YOU be celebrating “Hug a Vegetarian” Day tomorrow? Post your plans below!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
Life On A Tour Bus
I am Angela. When I am not helping animals I am listening to music, reading, or playing video games. My spirit animal is a fox and I love nature. What else is there to know? Want to know anything about me, need advice or anything message me :)
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
