#MEATIN Day - Rancher's Respond to Colorado Governor
(March 20, 2021) - Colorado Governor Jared Polis announced earlier this March a statewide “Meat Out” day, encouraging Coloradans to not buy or consume meat that day. A meat eater himself, Gov. Polis’ partner is a long-time vegan, and a state proclamation like this finds Colorado’s ranchers insulted and slapped in the face - especially when you consider the financial significance of the beef industry in the state.
Nearly Half of Colorado’s Counties Signed on to a #MeatIn and #BetterWithBeef Initiative
With 26 counties signed on to the narrative spread across many of the states in the U.S. regarding the outrage over Gov. Polis’ proclamation, the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association has even created a list of places that will be supporting #MeatIn. If you are in the Colorado area, we encourage you to check out the list here.
Nebraska Governor has proclaimed that March 20th be their #MeatOnTheMenu day as well.
