Being vegan, I’m for sure supporting this…
and with all the talk in the news about cloned meat and the FDA saying it’s ok to consume and that producers don’t have to label such as cloned meat, well that’s even more reason for people to join us for MEAT OUT!
On March 20 — the first day of spring — thousands of caring people in all 50 US states and around the world will hold informative and educational Meatout events. Events will include colorful ‘lifestivals,’ street theater, lectures, public dinners, cooking demos, food samplings, leafleting, information tables called ‘steakouts,’ and a Congressional Reception in Washington, DC.
The occasion is The Great American Meatout, the world’s largest and oldest annual grassroots diet education campaign. Every spring, thousands of Meatout supporters educate their communities and ask their friends, families, and neighbors to pledge to “kick the meat habit (at least for a day) and explore a wholesome, nonviolent diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Awesome! I’m so glad that there are people out there who organize these sorts of things to help improve our world. Not only is it healthier not to eat the hormone-stuffed meat we produce today, but it helps save lots of poor tortured animals.
