Individuals in different regions, countries, states and cities put together talks, informational sessions, outreach programs and other such events to encourage people to "kick the meat habit." It's the world's largest annual grassroots diet education campaign -- and ironically, as healthy as Colorado is, this state has only two Meatout events planned: A retail outreach and public vegetarian meal on the Pearl Street Mall on Sunday, March 21, and a Durango information table and retail outreach from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Natural Grocers, 123 Camino Del Rio.
