March 20

World Day without Meat

"Nothing would increase both the chance of survival on earth, as the move toward a vegetarian diet" Einstein. The World No Carne (Meat Out Day) is an international event sponsored by FARM (Farm Animal Reform Movement) which has been held since 1985.


This Day Animal protection groups are campaigning for vegetarianism pedagogy: explaining its benefits, the reality of factory farming and animal suffering, and showing alternatives to meat, milk and eggs.

World Meatless Day is no longer something anecdote about "hippies" who prefer the lettuce to a good steak, but prestigious health organizations in the U.S. also joined this time to promote the vegetarian diet as the American Cancer Society, John Hopkins University and the American Heart Association.
