March is nearly here and that means it is time again for The Great American Meat Out.\u00a0\u00a0 Started in 1985, Meat Out is a grassroots campaign designed to spread through education and information the benefits of a meat-free diet.\u00a0\u00a0 Events are coordinated by FARM and held in many cities (although Nashville is not one).\u00a0\u00a0 The purpose, of course, is to get as many people as possible to “Kick the meat habit”.<\/p>\n

From the website<\/a>, benefits include:<\/p>\n

\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> reduces our risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other chronic diseases that cripple and kill nearly 1.4 million Americans annually.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> decreases our exposure to infectious pathogens like Salmonella, E. coli, and Campylobacter, which kill several thousand Americans annually and sicken millions more.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> raises our energy level, lowers our food budget, and simplifies food preparation and cleanup.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> frees up grains and other foods that can be used to feed the world’s hungry. Animals are extremely inefficient “protein converters;” it can take up to 16 pounds of grain to make 1 pound of beef.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> preserves our topsoil, water, and other food production resources vital to the survival of our children and their children.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> protects our forests, grasslands, and other wildlife habitats from encroachment by cattle ranchers while reducing the polluting effects of methane, soil particles, manure, and pesticides on our air and water.<\/p>\n
Kicking the meat habit<\/span> saves animals from caging, crowding, deprivation, drugging, mutilation, manhandling, and agonizing slaughter. Each person who adopts a plant-based diet saves over 80 innocent, sentient animals each year. Over a lifetime, an individual can save more than 6,000 animals just by going vegan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
