Meatless Monday Movement

Just as I was starting to get discouraged about sticking to a vegetarian diet, I read an article mentioning the Meatless Monday Movement.

I have added a link to the website on my blog as it is definitely one of my favorite new sites!  This non profit organization is encouraging people all over the world to go meatless, specifically on Monday.  Their overall mission is to get people to reduce their meat consumption by 15% because there is substantial evidence that going meatless at least once a week can reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity.


The website also provides readers with tons of meatless recipes along with an impressive list of celebrities and companies on board with cutting meat out of their diet on Mondays.  I am so excited about this movement that I'm going to extend my vegetarianism for a whole extra week



Visit their site and let me know if you were convinced to go Meatless on Monday...(:

  1. As an avid carnivore I could even go for a meatless monday. The next step is to go after local restaurants and see if you can have them change their menus.
