The lovely people at The Times are suggesting readers go vegetarian for the week. At the risk of sounding like a six-year-old – yesssss. They’ve even included a link to the top ten veggie restaurants in London, including Manna, Mildred’s, Pogo Café and The Gate.

The day wouldn’t be complete without a mention of how Fraser Lewry is getting on with his vegetarian quest this week, and it does appear – don’t quote me on this – that he might even be enjoying it.

Don’t forget to submit a recipe to be in with a chance of winning some veggie food – last entry Sunday.

Now that I’ve caught your attention, I want to talk about vegetarianism. We’re on Day 3 of World Vegetarian Week, and it’s important… oh sod it. Just enjoy the video. But promise me you’ll pay special attention to what Alicia Silverstone is saying, not just what she’s doing. Thanks for playing.

Oh and before I finish up this entry, two final points:

Check out this great post on the Guardian food blog Word of Mouth.

Fraser Lewry (remember the meat-addict giving up animals for the week?) has been ‘clean’ for three days now, give him your support here!

Well, it certainly seems like World Vegetarian Week is popular – and we’re only on Day Two! Get in…

Fraser Lewry, who you may remember me telling you yesterday is ditching his carnivorous ways for a week to embrace vegetarianism, has posted his second entry on the subject. Looks like he’s discovered veggie sausages and Redwood’s ‘chicken’ pieces, check out his Beano-esque mash mountain. Bless…

Also doing the rounds, is a video by YouTube sensation Ben Loka. With nearly 22,000 views in three days, this video is a must-see, even if it’s just to see what all the fuss is about.

So, who’s giving it a try this week then?

Please give a warm round of applause to Fraser Lewry, dedicated meat-eater and web-personality extraordinaire. Fraser has decided to go vegetarian for the week, to coincide with World Vegetarian Week and he is documenting his exciting journey on his blog, Blogjam.

In today’s entry, the first in the series for this, he says, “I have a sneaking admiration for vegetarians because, unlike a lot of meat eaters, they’ve actually thought about where meat comes from: how it’s reared, how it’s slaughtered, how it reaches the table.” For someone that is eating his way through the alphabet of animals, I’d say this is a pretty impressive statement. Not only is he thinking logically about why how most animals reach the dinner-plates of the UK, he says that he admires vegetarians – great!

So what I’m asking from all you lovely readers, is to comment here or on his blog with your support and he’ll see that it’s worth him extending that seven-day veg pledge to a lifetime of healthy and humane eating.

I’ll update here every day with his progress. Watch this space…
