Commissioners: Eat meat on Meat-Out Day

Beef (or any other kind of meat). It’s what’s for dinner.
At least that’s what the Mesa County commissioners, along with several others across the state, want to see on Saturday as a protest to Gov. Jared Polis’ proclamation for a Meat-Out Day.
Like other local leaders scattered around the state, the commissioners approved a resolution calling March 20 “Meat-In Day.”
The county’s proclamation, similar to others across the state and nation, is meant to honor Colorado’s livestock and farming communities, saying they play a huge role in the state’s economy.
“I think it’s important to note that every cow that you see out standing in the field, pun intended, is worth $600 to $800 in our economy every single year,” said Janie VanWinkle, a local rancher and president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. “We’re about feeding people. We’re about food security. We want to make sure there’s a balanced diet available for all of our citizens in Mesa County, in Colorado as well as across the country and globally.”
