The United Nations did a study just over two years ago, and that blew my mind. I started thinking that if people are vegetarian for one day a week, that makes a huge difference!
When it comes to meat, change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not.
Most people see a documentary about the meat industry and then they become a vegetarian for a week.
Because I'm so known as a meat-chef, when I talk about Meatless Monday some people look at me like I've lost my mind. I'm like, look, I'm not saying beef and pork is bad, I love it and I eat it six days a week.
The best thing you can do for yourself is lower your meat intake, so I try to do one day a week meatless.
Give your dog or cat respect, patience, understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week, that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.
And check this out: If every American had one meat-free day per week, it would be the same as taking eight million cars off American roads in a year.
People should try eating no animal products for just ONE DAY a week.
I like a good burger as much as the next girl, but sometimes, I say hold the beef. In fact, every week, I do Meatless Monday to feel a little healthier.
