You're going to see a lot of vegan food around here for the next week! Great vegan recipes (with photos) abound all over the Internet and blogosphere, and one will be featured every day for the next week. Why? In Defense of Animals' World GO VEGAN Days start today and last through October 31. And the very next day, November 1, is the Vegan Society's annual World Vegan Day.

Visit IDA for tips on veganism and how you can celebrate GO VEGAN Days. And then watch for today's recipe! Continue reading this post for IDA's mission statement for World GO VEGAN Days:

IDA's World GO VEGAN Days exists to educate people about the vegan lifestyle, a compassionate way of eating and living. Veganism is a healthy choice that shows love and respect for animals, the environment and you. Promoting veganism through outreach events and the media, we know that our annual World GO VEGAN Days is helping make the word "vegan" a household term, universally recognized as meaning love and compassion for all living beings.

"World GO VEGAN Days" is also about celebrating what it means to be vegan. Veganism enables people to live in balance with all of Earth's creatures and promote freedom from exploitation for animals as part of their everyday lives. Modern animal agriculture is cruel and violent toward the chickens, cows, pigs and other creatures used to make meat, milk and eggs. During World GO VEGAN Days, we encourage people to become conscious of what - and who - they are eating, the effect it has on the world, and that a non-violent alternative exists.

We urge people to recognize the effects their actions have on the world, and our ability to actually avert some impending disasters such as global warming.

For the health of people, the environment, and farmed animals, veganism is the best choice. World GO VEGAN Days embodies this idea. As an international campaign, it encourages people around the world to experience the benefits and joys of a more compassionate way of life.
