I live in Moldova, where still many people keep fasting and so they are eating only vegan food big periods of time. If people would keep obey old orthodox rules for fasting then about 2/3 of year they would been vegans.
World Vegan Day has been celebrated in Melbourne on the last Sunday of October for several years. The event is organized by a committee affiliated with Vegetarian Network Victoria, and featured stalls include Lentil as Anything, Invite Living Foods, Animals Australia, Aduki Independent Press, Eco-shout Melbourne, Vegan Society of Australia, ALB, the Melbourne University Food Co-op, and many more. The 2008 World Vegan Day festival was held on Sunday, 26 October at the Abbots ford Convent.
