Why train for months and run to exhaustion in a marathon or walk yourself sore in a walk-a-thon when you could raise money for a worthy cause just for eating delicious vegetarian food? A veg-a-thon is when you eat a vegetarian diet for one to eight weeks and collect pledges to the nonprofit organization of your choice for your efforts. See the Why Veg? page to learn more about the benefits of a whole foods vegetarian diet on your health, for the environment and for animals. Our Resources page provides valuable advice for shopping, cooking and eating vegetarian. When you're ready to get started, we make it easy with our three step guide to doing a veg-a-thon.
