Los Angeles is hoping to persuade people to become vegetarian at least one day per week. Under a resolution unanimously approved by the city council this week, all future Mondays in the City of Angels have been declared "Meatless Mondays."
Follow @NBCNewsUS It's part of an international campaign to cut down on meat consumption for health and environmental reasons.

And I’ll bet it’s not on a Monday, either!!
So are all the Golden Arches going to limit to chicken only on Monday? We live in Los Angeles and WILL GO OUT for STEAK dinner on Monday night’s!!!!
Not until they declare a “meat” day. To declare a “meatless” day without a corresponding “meat” day is discriminatory (to use a favorite lefty word!).
“I think this is a great idea.
With fewer people in the market for dead cow, that means the prices will have to come down.”
Until the farmer says, “Hay! (pun intended) I’m not making any money on these cows. It’s time to grow something else!”
Supply goes down, price goes waaay up.... (Time to trudge out in the snow after a deer)
Make certain the your children and grandchildren get meat on Mondays. It’s for the children, ya know....
UNDER Hitler there were MEATLESS Wednesday and Fridays!!!
And the first thing he did was ban Kosher slaughter.
As if Mondays weren’t already getting enough bad PR.
Under Obama I will probably just drink me meals on Mondays...perhaps the rest of the week as well.
Twenty-five plus years of meatless everyday here...under no one’s direction but my own heart.
And, yes, I occasionally miss bacon.
Vegetables are what food eats.
We already have this. It’s supposed to be on Fridays.
Well, they’ve already mastered brainless Monday through Sundays.
Some wit could have fun with this, by proposing a “Beat a PETA” event. Start by putting a dummy, labeled PETA, and dressed as a fool, in stocks, then encourage people to call it derisive names and beat it with whiffleball bats.
Maybe they were subliminally giving the illegal aliens a message that they should refrain from sex on Mondays. It would ultimately reduce the load on the maternity wards in all the LA hospitals and their welfare rolls.
12-0 Unanimous vote.
Good grief.
Looks like a good ol USSR. Thursdays were meatless days in a name of public health. No beef, pork or lamb were sold or served in restaurants. Still, it wasn’t all veggie because thursday was actually a “fish day” in Soviet Union.
I and my wife are with you Doug. We are both in our sixties and really can't "pass" all that meat we used to eat, (putting aside the teeth/chewing ability).
We eat meat 3-4 times a week and fish/veggies the other days. It really does help with the digestive system, not to mention the morning visit to the porcelain throne.
We also use a lot of probiotics during the day.

What’s wrong with Fridays?
Why should I eat the food of my food? I’d rather have Pork mondays.
