Letter to the editor: Try plant-based for one day on March 20
MeatOut was launched in 1985 by Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) and has since grown into the world’s largest annual grassroots educational campaign encouraging the end of the use of animals for food. On March 20, the first day of spring, we ask people to turn over a new leaf and explore a plant-based diet for just one day
While there are other programs that encourage a plant-based diet, MeatOut is unique in that its only goal is to inspire and empower people to leave meat, dairy and eggs off their plate for just one day.
One day to try all the delicious and nutritious plant-based foods that are now readily available. One day to shed light on the plight of animals raised for food.
MeatOut Day has been proclaimed in New York City, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe, N.M., Dallas and other major cities across the country. Millions of people will abstain from eating meat on March 20 and we invite you to join in. One day.
