If eliminating meat from your daily diet seems intimidating—if not downright impossible—you’re not alone. In fact, just 8 percent of the world’s population is vegetarian or vegan. For the other 92 percent of omnivores out there, going meatless one day a week can be more practical. That’s why the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future launched the first official Meatless Monday campaign in 2003. By choosing the first weekday to go meatless, they hope to encourage more Americans to consume less meat. Not sure if you’re ready to take the leap? The environmental, financial, and health benefits of not eating meat one day a week might convince you to give it a try.

There’d be more meat for me.
Excellent response!!
Why?
More for the rest of us! More bacon! More steak! More hamburgers! More sausage! More, more, more.
would that make everyone catholic
I skip dinner every day so ....
But that’s a personal decision and it’s none of RD’s business who eats and when.
I’ll consider this over my steak dinner tonight...
...got me to thinking - we haven’t had prime rib in a while..!! that and some fried potatoes...!! yum...!!
What would happen?
Probably very little. (Meat is so expensive under Biden that many of us aren’t eating much of it anyway.)
That post hits a nerve.
My grandfather, God bless him, gave me a subscription to Reader’s Digest every year for my birthday. I would get it in the mail BEFORE it was on supermarket shelves to buy.
After he died, at age 87, I was in a grocery store checkout line and I saw a copy of Reader’s Digest for sale that I had not seen first. I started to cry at his loss to me.
Voluntarily, or was the Reader's Digest writer suggesting the use of violence against those who continue to eat meat every day?!?
Only on Friday…
Meatless Fridays and a meatless Lent are old Catholic traditions. They should be brought back.
Why meat is actually good for you
Meat is good for gut health because it’s non-irritating, easy to digest, and supports healthy insulin levels without promoting blood glucose spikes.
It also provides all of the macronutrients and micronutrients we need, including some that are difficult or impossible to obtain from plant foods. For instance, it’s an excellent source of every B vitamin, including B7, which plants contain very little of, and B12, which plants do not contain at all.
Only meat contains heme iron, a form of iron at least three times easier for us to absorb than the non-heme iron in plants. And only animal-source foods contain the MK‑4 form of vitamin K2, which is easier to absorb (and is the form used by the human brain).....
why would I follow this leftist garbage and eliminate meat AT ALL?? It’s a lie from the devil that eating meat is bad for you. On the contrary, it’s excellent and people that avoid it tend towards major nutritional deficiencies and health issues.
More for me.
That would be Lent, right?
