For last year's Meatout, these Florida volunteers held a tabling event and greeted beach goers with vegan food samples.

Have you started planning your Meatout event? Now is the time!

On (or around) March 20, thousands of caring people in all 50 states and two dozen other countries encourage their friends, families, and communities to “kick the meat habit” and explore a wholesome, compassionate diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

FARM’s Meatout program is the world’s largest grassroots diet education campaign. Its purpose is to expose the public to the joys and benefits of a plant-based diet, while promoting the availability and selection alternatives to meat and dairy in mainstream grocery stores, restaurants, and catering operations.

Dec 122011

FARM is excited to announce an unprecedented and exciting addition to our Pay-Per-View program: a full-time touring vehicle (mock-up illustration pictured above)! Under the direction of driver/coordinator Jeni Haines, we intend to reach over 100,000 people each year through nearly 300 events, starting June 2012 for Warped Tour.

By showing Mercy for Animals’ powerful Farm to Fridge video, Pay-Per-View continues to provide amazing results: around 80% of viewers pledge to decrease animal product consumption and over 50% of viewers have made these changes 1 month later. Based on the survey data, we estimate that an average of 10 animals per year are spared for each Pay-Per-View participant. If we reach our goal of 100,000 viewers, we can spare 1 million animals in the first year alone! Continue reading »

Nov 232011

In keeping with the life-affirming spirit of Thanksgiving, FARM’s president and founder, Alex Hershaft, faxed a letter to President Obama asking him to pardon ALL turkeys bound for White House dinners.

The letter thanks the president for granting reprieve to two turkeys and for making healthy eating a top priority for this administration, while urging him to do more than ceremoniously pardon turkeys. FARM asks Obama to create a new White House tradition by becoming “the first president to observe a truly nonviolent holiday season” by pardoning all turkeys.

Thanksgiving is the perfect time to encourage compassion for all sentient beings. It is a time to come together and experience the warmth of being loved. So if you’re inviting non-vegan friends over to celebrate, this is a great opportunity to provide delicious alternatives to cruel turkey dinners.

Holding a feed-in or a Pay-Per-View event is the ideal way to motivate others to live more compassionately. You could coordinate a public vegan dinner, host a private meal for friends and family, offer samples of bite-sized turkey alternatives to the public in a busy area, or hold a video event near a grocery store or on a college campus. Whatever your plans, be sure to share them with us! We would love to here how you are celebrating this year’s Gentle Thanksgiving.

Each year since 1983, hundreds of caring individuals have coordinated events in their communities to draw attention to the ongoing terror facing farmed animals — please join us in taking a stand on October 2nd!

As always, the best way to honor these animals is to encourage others to adopt a vegan diet. For WFAD 2011, FARM is launching our new Pay Per View program — an innovative and amazingly effective method for exposing the public to the truth about animal agriculture.
