Texas VegFest Shows Vegetarianism a National Growing Trend

Last weekend, thousands of festival-goers gathered in Central Texas to celebrate and learn more about vegetarianism at Austin’s first-ever Texas VegFest, an uber-successful veg-foodie event that indicates plant-based eating is a growing trend. The Texas VegFest comes on the heels of Dallas’ Second Annual Texas State Veggie Fair, held in October.
