Do you ever wonder why Monday was chosen as the day to celebrate Meatless Mondays?
It’s probably quite simple.
It’s quite likely that the folks behind Meatless Monday campaign felt that as the start
of the week, Monday holds a unique opportunity for us.
It’s a new beginning.
A fresh start.
Monday is the perfect time to take a look at the past week, think about the behaviors
we’d like to improve upon and reset our routine.
In fact, research has shown that Monday is the day we are most likely to start new
and lasting healthy habits.
So, that’s the idea behind Meatless Monday:
“Start each week
with healthy intentions
and you’re more likely
to stick with them.”
And if you fall off the wagon one week, you always have another chance to go meatless
next Monday!
Why go meatless, you ask?
There are many important health and environmental benefits associated with reducing
meat consumption.

Thanks Deborah for this great article. It really shows how a simple act like eating plant based whole food meals one day a week can help the environment and us. I love the colorful Infographic which illustrates why cutting back can be tasty, easy, and healthy! Nancy Andres, Author of Colors of Joy: A Woman’s Guide for Self-Discovery, Balance, and Bliss.
