Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
You've probably heard of the Great American Smokeout, an annual event that is supposed to help lend support to those who want to quit smoking. Next week, you can join in the Great American Meatout, which is a similar event that started over to raise support for the vegetarian movement and to help "kick the meat habit."
The 23rd annual Meatout is coming up on March 20th and various organizations will be joining in to encourage greater consumption of fruits and veggies. Check local papers for events coming up in your area, or just participate by having a meat-free day of your own.
You don't have to "kick the meat habit" for good if you're an omnivore with carnivorous leanings, but it is worth noting that eating vegetarian sometimes can potentially lower the risk of heart disease. Better yet, it is a good excuse to branch out from your normal cooking routine and try out some of the recipes on some of the great vegan food blogs out there!

I have not had any meat for a couple of months now, except for a bacon and cheese omelet on a weak morning. LOL I feel so much better and I'm getting plenty of protein from beans, nuts and soy burgers etc. When you realize that our beef eating, in particular, contributes more greenhouse gas than CARS AND TRUCKS, it's pretty clear we all have to start thinking about eating lower on the food chain.

And I frankly don't appreciate a "Meat Out" day similar to a Smoke Out, I hardly liken eating meat to cigarette smoking and resent the implications that sort of analogy makes.

Lent contains six lovely Fridays when large portions of America's population aren't supposed to eat meat and are ripe for recipes that are more exciting than cheese pizza, grilled cheese, and tuna casserole.
Better yet, the day to launch this campaign was Ash WEDNESDAY (another no-meat day), when you have weeks and weeks for people to eat the mushroom-nut burgers and talk themselves into how great they are.
