It's World Vegetarian Day

So, I just read on Jason Ferruggia's blog that today is World Vegetarian Day.

Seeing as how I dipped my toe in the herbivore water earlier this year, and was pleasantly surprised and somewhat enlightened, I thought I'd spread the word about this day dedicated to the devouring of delicious delicacies that don't have to die to be digested. (Was that a stretch? I thought I was on a roll.)

To recognize world vegetarian day and the start of vegetarian awareness month (... okay, even I'll admit that one sounds pretty odd), how's about we lean a little more towards meat-free for the next day or two and bump up the vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds in each meal.

Give it an honest shot for, say, the next two or three meals in a row and see how you feel. More energy? Feeling more full on less food? Can't concentrate because you've got barbecued short ribs on your brain? Just find out, because nutrition, like training, will always benefit from an open mind and the occasional experiment.
