Meat Free Monday - free of this meatCan you keep at least one day a week meat free? Why is it a good idea to do so? What contribution would a meat free day make?

The Meat Free Monday concept is increasingly popular. The idea is simple, each Monday you should abstain from eating meat. At least just one day a week. No meat.

Why would any meat eater want to have a meat free Monday? Well, for the following reasons:
  • Livestock production creates between 13.5 and 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions according to the UN.
 
  • Having one day a week meat free helps your body clean itself, so is good for your health.

  • Reducing demand for meat means that there is less environmental destruction to provide meat.
So having a meat free day is a very Zen thing to do. There is a large community of people who are actively following a meat free diet each Monday, so you can join in with this important social movement.

Are you going to have any meat today?
