Go Veggie with Nature Home Asia

National Vegetarian Week 2015 runs from 18-24 May this year and we encourage you to get involved! Organised by the Vegetarian Society and sponsored by ‘Nothing But’, this year there is a focus on sharing and enjoying delicious veggie food with your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours and community – so why not get together and explore all the tasty meat-free options you can find?
