We couldn’t agree more. Eating less meat, even forgoing it just one day a week, can have profoundly beneficial effects for our environment as well as our health. Less meat equals fewer carbon emissions, reduced water use, a healthier heart, and less use and consumption of unnecessary antibiotics

Although the concept is quite fetching, it allows for a more immediate question: Why are we poisoning ourselves, eachother? “tis the end of the carnivore fala fala”.

As an intern with Meatless Monday, I wanted to thank you for featuring our campaign on your website. It’s really wonderful to see the movement gaining traction. There is also a great Youtube video that describes the history and science behind the campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnKeYmR1NM.

Thank you!

I think “Meatless Monday” misses the point that factory farming is the problem, not sustainable pasture based farming. Why not simply go without factory farmed supermarket meat rather than going without meat altogether?

In a way, such a campaign reminds me of the sentiment that vegetarianism and veganism are the only alternatives to factory farming when that’s not the case at all. I suppose I’m a bit sensitive to this topic because I personally need to have a lot of meat in my diet to feel well. Since I only eat pasture raised meat anyway, this would be an exercise in futility for me.

I bet if it was “Meatless and Dairyless Monday”, which in actuality it should be, more people would share the same opinion.
