Meat and Dairy Eaters Anonymous is holding its first meeting in D.C. tomorrow. Alas, it is not a club for people having a hard time with Jewish dietary law.
The group offers support for those who “struggle to fight cravings for burgers, cheese, cow’s milk, and bacon,” according to a release. “Meat and Dairy Eaters Anonymous provides people with a safe space to share their struggles without judgment and help each other kick meat, eggs, and dairy products and maintain this food ‘sobriety.’ ” Because addiction and enjoying cheese are about equally difficult to overcome.
The first “12-step meeting” is being held at PETA’s D.C. offices, though they are only offering the space, not running the program or sending mostly naked women to cheer them on. “Meat and Dairy Eaters Anonymous will help aspiring vegans find a network of friends and the support they need to help them quit the meat and dairy habit for good,” said PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman.
They are also offering space for the new group to host meetings in L.A., New York City, Oakland, and Norfolk, Virginia.
