What is Independence From Meat Day?

Independence From Meat Day invites people to skip meat for a day and discover the benefits of vegetarian and vegan eating. Founded by the Vegetarian Awareness Network in Knoxville, Tennessee, it falls on July 4th to offer a plant-based contrast to America's biggest grilling holiday. It spotlights the health and environmental case for cutting back on meat, from greenhouse gases to water and land use.
