Eat Red Meat Day



Eat Red Meat Day is a carnivore holiday scheduled for it's first celebration on November 1, 2007.

Eat Red Meat Day is a celebration of the joy of eating red meat and the right and ability to do so. Participants celebrating Eat Red Meat Day are encouraged to have at least one meal that includes red meat, but including red meat in all meals that day is preferable.

Red Meat
Red meat, while sometimes used to mean "beef," refers to beef, lamb, venison, bison and any other meat that is red before cooking, which typically comes from mammals, but includes goose and duck.

Pork, while advertised as "The Other White Meat" in order to appear healthy, is considered by the USDA to be red meat.

White Meat
White meat, mainly consisting of poultry, but including veal, rabbit, and milk-fed lamb, are frowned upon on Eat Red Meat Day for obvious reasons.

Vegetables
In any given meal on Eat Red Meat Day consumption of vegetables on is acceptable in the form of a side item, but should be minimized as an ingredient for the main entree, less than twenty percent if possible. It is preferable to remove vegetables from the main entree whenever they are not absolutely necessary (example: a cheeseburger should be eaten without lettuce, tomato, etc., but a meatloaf may include onions, bell peppers, etc. as necessary ingredients.)
