Get the Meat Out - Brief Article

Vegetarian Times, March, 2000 by Abigail Chipley

On March 20, people in all 50 states and several other countries will usher in the first day of spring by kicking the meat habit, at least if the Farm Animal Reform Movement (FARM) has its way. The grassroots group, which has been rousing public awareness about animal agriculture since 1981, is sponsoring the 16th annual Great American Meatout.

With 2,000 scheduled events ranging from public dinners to cooking demos, the group hopes to get meat eaters to join the millions of Americans who have already discovered the joys and benefits of a meatless diet. For information, call (800) MEATOUT or visit: www.meatout.org.
