Every year millions all over the world pledge to observe November 25th as a Meatless Day. Last year over 5 million people all over the pledged to go meatless including 1661 from Malaysia. The campaign requires people to pledge to abstain from consuming all forms of meat, fish and fowl on this day. By not consuming meat, one practices reverence for life and this we believe is the first step towards world peace. It is hoped that this campaign will lead to an increased awareness of the benefits of a meatless diet.
