If eliminating meat from your daily diet seems intimidating—if not downright impossible—you’re not alone. In fact, just 8 percent of the world’s population is vegetarian or vegan. For the other 92 percent of omnivores out there, going meatless one day a week can be more practical. That’s why the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future launched the first official Meatless Monday campaign in 2003. By choosing the first weekday to go meatless, they hope to encourage more Americans to consume less meat. Not sure if you’re ready to take the leap? The environmental, financial, and health benefits of not eating meat one day a week might convince you to give it a try.

I’ll have to think about that...

Meat is so expensive under Biden that many of us aren’t eating much of it anyway.

And when we do purchase meats we don’t purchase anything that’s not worth eating.

LOL! Tell you the truth I wouldn’t want to find out.

No. It just seems STUPID.

What Would Happen If Everyone Stopped Eating Meat One Day a Week? Not one damned thing.

Karen Vegans would proclaim victory

How about everyone hold their breath 30 seconds, three times a day.

“Dat would help save da Erf!”

Meatless Fridays and a meatless Lent are old Catholic traditions. They should be brought back.

For some of us, they never went away.

And then there's Gollum:

Alive without breath;
As cold as death;
Never thirsting, ever drinking;
Clad in mail never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
Thinks an island
Is a mountain;
Thinks a fountain
Is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
To catch a fish,
So juicy-sweet!

I was thinking wifey. skip a day and she gets really cranky. she is demanding so I’m not skipping a day without the proper nutrition just because someone else says so.

There would be more meat for those of us who don’t stop eating it.

[drSteve78]

. Such was his joy that year!

And you helped make it an extra special Good Friday, following the fifth commandment. ❤️

[drSteve78]

Grasses are plants. Cows eat grass. Eating beef makes you a second degree vegan.

[drSteve78]

Catholics observed this practice for centuries.

Lutherans here, growing up we had sausage and pepperoni pizzas on many Friday night. Canned tuna fish made into tuna salad was usually Tuesday’s fare.

That sounds good!

Oddly enough 8 percent of the world's population is mentally ill. Coincidence?

[EVO X]

More for the rest of us! More bacon! More steak! More hamburgers! More sausage! More, more, more.

MY digestive track doesn't work like that unless I add some green stuff into my diet...

[spacejunkie2001]

And yet.....here we are

[DCPatriot]

Their Kung Pao is better...

Will have to get that next visit.

Yes!

[Glad2bnuts]
