From Meat Me in the Middle:
SOUTH ORANGE & MAPLEWOOD, NJ – Meat Me in the Middle is hosting Veggie Vebruary, a month-long community initiative encouraging residents to cut back on meat for environmental and health benefits—without taking away anyone’s choices. The program features educational events, weekly recipes, and a special challenge from both towns’ mayors.
The celebration kicks off with a free screening and discussion of the documentary Meat Me Halfway on Sunday, February 1, from 3-5 PM at The Baird (5 Mead St, South Orange). Details and RSVP information are at https://forms.gle/Y8twkh5GXuW2mHNW6.
Mayors’ Meatless Challenge
From Monday, February 9, through Wednesday, February 11, Maplewood Mayor Vic De Luca and South Orange Mayor Sheena Collum will lead the Mayors’ Meatless Challenge. SOMA residents may participate by:
- Going meatless for one or more days
- Trying a new meatless recipe
- Choosing a meatless dish at a local restaurant
Weekly Recipe Support
Throughout February, Meat Me in the Middle will share simple, high-protein, plant-based recipes on its social media channels (@mmitm_project on Instagram and @mmitm.project on Facebook).
