Following in the tradition of The Great American Smokeout, the Meatout encourages us to kick the meat habit.  Quitting meat altogether may not interest you, so maybe avoiding it one day a week, or two or three meals a week or only March 20th would be more feasible.  Any way you shake it, cutting back or eliminating meat in our diets will make us and our planet healthier. 

I encourage you to find a meatout event to visit.  This link will show you all the events in your area.  If you are unable to attend an event, you can certainly go it alone to achieve the same result.
