But for quite a different reason, no?

The British government had two fish days a week...to help out the fishing industry.

I would suppose the Church "adopted" the idea along with a command that unless we do that, we'll go to hell.

Yes, I am sure that is why they picked Mondays and not Fridays. Can ‘t have any holdovers from Christianity. All for Gaia now.

Oldeconomy,

I’m Methodist, but decided to follow tradition a few years ago and go “meatless” on Fridays. In our modern society, it is way easy to go meatless with lots of options. Still, it has been rewarding spiritually.

Heaven forbid that secular schools might be in tune with many of their students and simply have meatless Fridays. Fish sticks? On no! No religion in schools.

This whole meatless Mondays stuff is so leftist it makes me sick.

Sorry, that’s my opinion.
