Already since 25 years, 20th March is celebrated as the Meatout Day. Event is widespreaded among 50 states of USA, as well as many other countries of Europe. It is also second to last day of the 2nd GAIA seminar taking place in Rome. During the event participants, divided into kitchen and cleaning teams, were responsible for preparing own meals. Real workcamp spirit! But the most interesting thing is that already for 6 days, 17 people of different cultural and dietary background, managed to prepare everyday meals without using even a piece of meat. We were baking own bread, pizza, pasta, tartas, cooking vegetables, preparing salads, tasting cheese from diffrenet corners of Europe and much more, so nobody complained for boring diet. And most of the ingredients came from food cooperatives or fair trade production.
It's definietely good practice example, that some of us will repeat during their workcamp experience.
To learn, why it is worth to know where your meat comes from and why it is worth to implement vegetarian diet in your everyday life, you can start from watching The Meatrix animation.
