HOST: Greetings change-embracing viewers, and welcome to Healthy Living
on Supreme Master Television. March 20 is the first day of spring in the
Northern Hemisphere and also marks the 25th anniversary of Meatout Day,
one of the world’s largest annual grassroots information campaigns
regarding the plant-based diet.
In honor of this upcoming
special occasion, today we feature excerpts of interviews with experts
and people from all backgrounds regarding the wholesome, green and
compassionate vegan diet.
The first Meatout Day was organized in
1985 by the Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM), a US-based non-profit
group promoting the vegan diet to save animals, protect the environment,
and improve health.
The day’s popularity has grown exponentially
over the past 25 years.
Participant
(F): Currently I am not a vegetarian. However, since I’ve
visited here, it’s just been so enlightening. It’s made me want to now
increase my knowledge of it as well as to even change my diet to live a
healthier lifestyle.
Vegan
participant – California, USA (M): It’s a simple formula and I’m
surprised myself how easy it works. Its worked miracles in my life. I
could not ever,in many lifetimes have shown enough kindness than what
just eating one vegetarian meal has shown me.
HOST: In the US,
governors of the states of Connecticut, Indiana, and New Hampshire and
the mayors of the cities of Baltimore, El Paso, Memphis, Honolulu, and
Houston all issued official proclamations supporting Meatout Day 2009.
Christen
(F): “Whereas a wholesome plant-based diet of whole grains, vegetables
and fresh fruits reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer,
diabetes and other chronic and infectious diseases that cripple and kill
nearly 1.3 million Americans annually; and whereas a diet that helps
enormously in reducing the emissions
of greenhouse gases that
produce global warming; and whereas such diet helps prevent the
suffering and death of more than10 billion sentient animals in the
United States each year, the City of Houston salutes those committed to
this challenging and worthwhile campaign, and extends best wishes to all
for the successful and rewarding event.
Therefore I, Bill
White, Mayor of the City of Houston hereby proclaim March 20, 2009 as
Great American Meatout Day.”
