Guest guest Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 No, I don't think it means they are finally going to get rid of Bush. *lol*... But in the car this morning, driving my daughter to school, I heard that this thursday is the national great American meatout. Has anyone else heard of that? Here in our area it is being sponsored by a local chapter of the People for Animal Rights...or something like that. It wasn't PETA, but another group, I know that much. Anyway, several of the regions restaurants are going to host promotions and serve special vegetarian dishes. Of course this is mostly going to happen in the Ashland, Oregon area, a bit of a drive for me, but still, I thought it was rather interesting that it is being done at all. Kind of nice actually. Has anyone else heard of things being done in your area of the US in honor of this event? ~ PT ~ Everything is connected.Ê No one thing can change by itself. ~ Paul Hawken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Meatout is a annual event run by FARM (Farm Animal Reform Movement) & it encourages people to give up meat one day a year (March 20th) to " kick the meat habit " and promote a plant based diet. This was it's 19th year. See www.meatout.org and www.farmusa.org for more info.
