If you have noticed a puzzling rise in the amount of hugs going around you, it is because today is the ‘Hug a Vegetarian Day’. As the name literally suggests, it is the official day for hugging vegans and vegetarians or, if you are an herbivore yourself, for receiving them. It is an annual event happening on the last Friday of every September, validated and supported by PETA.
