Proclamation Suggested Text:


MEATOUT DAY - MARCH 20TH

* WHEREAS  a wholesome plant-based diet promotes health and reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and other chronic diseases that debilitate then kill nearly 23,000 South Carolinians annually; and,

* WHEREAS such a diet protects our forests, grasslands and other wildlife habitats, and substantially reduces methane, nitrous oxide, and carbon dioxide emissions that produce global warming;  and,

* WHEREAS such a diet conserves water and reduces pollution of our waterways and oceans by crop debris, fertilizers and pesticides; and, 

* WHEREAS such a diet eliminates the inefficiency of converting plant-based foods into animal-based foods and helps preserve cultivable land, topsoil, water, energy, and other essential food production resources; and,

* WHEREAS such a diet prevents the suffering and death of ten billion sentient animals each year in the US; and,

* WHEREAS each year, dedicated South Carolina Meatout volunteers encourage their neighbors to explore such a diet;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim March 20th, 2015, as "MEATOUT DAY" and encourage residents to explore a nutritious and wholesome diet of vegetables, fresh fruits, and whole grains on this day.
