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.

My first thought, too -- but the last thought that would have occurred to the author of this article.

Growing up in a Catholic home, I remember it was Fish Friday. If everyone started eating fish on Friday, we would have fish shortages and sky high prices. If we had meatless Mondays, I wonder what veggie protein would have the highest demand?

My Dad, (his son) was an alcoholic and absent father mostly.
My Grandfather did his best to fill in and take his place in our lives.
As nice and kind as the day is long.
The sins of the Father are visited upon the sons.
God help us all.

I recall the original Whopper was ginormous and Burger King also had the whaler which was about as big as the ginormous Whopper only it was Cod. Arthur Treacher fish & chips? Ansolutely marvelous.

I remember something from one of the chains that had a lot of mushroom-y sauce in it. I can’t recall where we got it, but I liked it, and nobody seems to make anything like it anymore.
