โ
The word for 2 in Japanese is โniโ (ไบ) and the word for 9 is โkuโ (ไน) so together as 2/9 they make โnikuโ, the word for meat (่). The sentence about going to meet meat is more wordplay in both Japanese and English, as it is written as โniku ni ai ni iku hiโ, with ni iku (ใซ่กใ), โto goโ, being similar to niku as well.
The other answers are puns too. 11/29 is 1 1 2 9, i i ni ku, โgood meatโ (ใใ่) and 3/10 is mii to, โmeatโ in English (ใใผใ).
So basically,
Happy Meat Day!
