meatless monday prevails!
in october of 2009, the batlimore public schools adopted a movement to reduce food costs and carbon footprint while improving the health of its students. the movement: meatless monday! that’s right, over 80,000 students going one whole day a week without meat! the movement has been so successful over the past few months that celebrities are starting to jump on board, most recently (and surprisingly) mario batali! what does a school district in baltimore have to do with a veggie mom in texas? well, as this movement grows in strength, i think we will see it spread across the country; however, i believe (following the catholic tradition that is so strong in this portion of the country), the meatless day will most likely be friday. any way you do it, the time has come for us all to introduce at least one meatless day a week into our businesses and homes. the environment will benefit, and you will benefit (in your waistline and wallet)! anyone willing to give this a try?
