Happy National Vegetarian Week! How are you celebrating? You could take a bit of inspo from Elen Rivas, who's gone all out for the occasion and taken off her clothes to shout about vegetarianism (or you could just have a salad). In the campaign photo, shot by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Elen relaxes amongst piles of fruit and veg, and uses a pair of Spanish melons to cover her, um, you get the idea.
"Going vegetarian was one of the best decisions my girls and I have made. It's had a positive impact on us on so many different levels", Elen says. "It's healthier, we feel much more alive and we have so much fun cooking delicious meat-free meals!"
And she's not wrong. Adopting a more plant-based, vegetarian diet can have massive health benefits: research shows eating less meat can reduce your risk of heart disease and breast cancer, plus it drastically reduces your carbon footprint, as livestock farming is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gasses.
