"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
~Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

I came up with the idea of the MeatFreeZone (MFZ) about five years ago when I was running The WARM Store in Woodstock, New York, USA. My store was totally Vegan and sort of a Meat Free Zone (MFZ) in itself. (It would have been appropriate to have such a sign or notice in the WARM Store...along with my signs saying No Fur and No Meat, Fish, Eggs, or Dairy Products allowed, etc.) For the past five years I have been hoping for a chance to do something with this idea, and now, with the help and backing and moral support of Jerry Cook, the two of us have been able to bring the Meat Free Zone (MFZ) campaign to fruition.

We would like to see the signs go up in every Vegan's and Vegetarian's home and place of work. We would also like to see them appear in every Vegan and Vegetarian restaurant in the USA (and world). We would like to see the Meat Free Zone (MFZ) campaign be taken on by all the large national groups. And the "ultimate" goal will come to fruition when the first meat serving "veggie friendly" restaurant actually sets aside a section for a truly "meat free zone" dining area! We will greet them with open arms and hope it starts a trend that travels far and wide. And we need your help to spread the word and get the signs out there in homes and in the public for all to see.

The Meat Free Zone (MFZ) campaign is intended to make the MeatFreeZone logo as recognizable a symbol as the "Smoke Free Zone". The idea was originally conceived when The WARM Store in Woodstock, NY, was in operation throughout the '90's (Woodstock Animal Rights Movement). The store was truly a meat free zone as it was the first cruelty-free, Vegan, socially conscious animal rights store in the United States. Now that the Vegan and Vegetarian movements have been growing so rapidly, more and more people are showing concern about the food in their diet and their overall health and nutrition. Many people are giving up eating fish, chicken, beef, pork (pigs ), dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream) and eggs. Headlines of Mad Cow disease, E-coli and salmonella are in the news with greater frequency. Vegan and vegetarian recipe cookbooks are standard now in all bookstores and many restaurants have added Vegan and Vegetarian options to their menus. We hope you will help us with the Meat Free Zone campaign by putting the signs up in your homes and workplaces and by spreading them to all the vegetarian and vegan restaurants that you know and frequent. And someday we will have true "meat free zones" in establishments that serve meat.
