Since 1985 Meatout has been celebrated on or around March 20th. Meatout is a huge educational campaign about vegetarianism. This grassroots campaign cites the cruelty to animals in factory farming, the environmental impact of factory farming, and the health benefits of a meat-free diet as reasons for “kicking the meat habit”. They also provide educational services on how to be vegetarian by providing meat-free recipes. Meatout invites everyone to go meat-free for a day every March 20th, and encourages people to make a commitment to participate in Meatout Mondays by going meat-free every Monday. This makes Meatout unique, as other organizations insist that to make a difference you must be a full-time vegetarian.
