Nebraska to celebrate Meat On The Menu Day

Beef Checkoff The beef industry is fighting back on March 20th with celebrations across the country to support cattle ranchers and boost beef demand. A few weeks ago, Governor Jared Polis of Colorado ruffled a lot of feathers when he declared March 20th as “Meat Out Day,” a day to abstain from eating meat for what he asserts would  benefit human and planetary health. The proclamation was a direct insult to the state’s livestock producers, which represent the second largest industry in the state of Colorado. What’s more, the proclamation is a reminder that the government continues to beat up on whole foods like meat, dairy and eggs, as reflected in modern Dietary Guidelines for Americans standards.

MEAT IN Day set for March 20

WHEREAS, a growing number of people are reducing their meat consumption to help prevent animal cruelty; and WHEREAS, since MeatOut was launched in 1985, more than 35 million Americans have explored a plant-based diet and reduced their consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs; and major food manufacturers and national franchises are marketing more vegan options in response to this growing demand; WHEREAS, Colorado is the proud home to farmers and ranchers alike and we recognize the importance of agriculture in the state; THEREFORE I, Jared Polis, Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby proclaim March 20, 2021, as MEATOUT DAY. Notably, MEATOUT Day is just four days before the state is expected to celebrate Colorado Agriculture Day. Colorado Politics has the details about the ongoing drama as agriculturalists and their elected officials push back against Polis’ announcement. Click here to read more.
