Dear Friend:
With the holidays behind us, every activist's mind is
turning to the first day of
spring (March 20), and the Great American Meat out. Caring folks in two
thousand communities in all fifty states and several other countries
will ask their
friends and neighbors to "kick the meat habit on March 20 and explore a
more
wholesome, less violent diet."
This year's observance will pursue aggressively
expanding the selection of meat-
less foods in mainstream food markets. It takes on a special importance
as the
launching pad for the millennium Meat out on March 20, 2000!
We invite you to take part in the Great American Meat
out 1999 by arranging an
event in your community. It's so easy, so satisfying, so effective.
Every one
percent drop in national meat consumption saves 94 million animals per
year --
more than the number killed in all US laboratories and pounds combined.
Please call 1-800-MEATOUT or e-mail
farm@farmusa.org to request a
Meatout
Action Kit with detailed instructions for arranging an event and for
receiving
additional materials. (Be sure to provide us your postal address and
telephone.)
