If you have high hopes for Meatless Mondays to affect major change in matters related to health, animal cruelty or climate change, think again. The Meatless Monday Movement is not about any of these causes. It is nothing more than a clever marketing ploy which serves to deflect the true healthcare and climate disruption costs of consuming a diet laden with animal-based foods seven days a week. Meatless Monday is too little, too late.
Why not take health improvement seriously by choosing a plant-centered diet every day of the week rather than an animal-centered one?
Why not take steps to put an end to animal cruelty on all farms by ending the demand for meat and meat products?
Why not join those committed to dramatically reducing anthropogenic climate disruption by eliminating our demand for meat and thus the need for global depletion of resources by the livestock industry?
For our health, for the animals and for our survival as a species let’s turn Meatless Mondays into MEATLESS MONTHS by eliminating meat from our diets not just on Mondays, but on every day of the week!
