What is meatless Monday?
"Meatless Monday" is a campaign that encourages individuals around the world to accept vegetarian food every Monday in an effort to improve health and maintain the environment. The Johns Hopkins University University of Public Health promoted the initiative in 2003 as a way to encourage Americans to become active about their diet and more realize how individual food choice affects the environment. The campaign has spread throughout Europe and Australia to become an international campaign.
The basic principles of meat -free campaign are double: helping to improve overall health by supporting the whole, unprocessed and fat -free and limiting the carbon footprint of people avoiding meat and meat products every day. Johns Hopkins Estimates that if every person in the world removed meat from his diet only one day a week, global health would improve dramatic dramatic and global meat processing wouldHis carbon traces took years. The project was largely a pioneer to meet these goals. Especially red meat has some of the highest saturated fats of any regular food. The harmful effects of mass agriculture and alleged humanitarian crime of many commercial meat packages and slaughterhouses also affect the decisions of many people at least some meat every week.
Encouraging people not to eat any meat, is not one of the goals of the program, nor is it a project for dramatic changes in the habits of the population. The main move of Monday's project is to encourage people to eat less meat within a week. Proponents believe that concentration without meat on a specific denble in the wider individual sector.
Mondays are significant for the campaign in several respects. Most importantly, Monday is the beginning of the working week for most of the Western world.

Scientists and promoters of programs believe that people's encouragement to accept healthy habits when returning to their daily work routines is on the right way to make a better choice of food last Monday. This benefits public health and the environment.

Catchy phrases and easy -to -remember statements are important for the success and widespread acceptance of any marketing tactics. The use of Monday also distinguishes a campaign from national American campaigns without meat during Jedlest and World War II. During these wars, American Food and Drug Administration, led by President Wilson and Truman, defended "Tuesday without meat" and "without wheat" to help in war and maintain supplies and raw goods.
Meatless Monday was praised by celebrity, EnvironmenTalists and medical advocates in almost every country. A country like Belgium, Israel and Australia has promoted a campaign with voluntary national days "without meat". They were received with a large fanfare, but the inertial power of initiative without meat on Monday held only with a small minority of the population.
In almost every country, there is a mutilation of Monday's fractions, but its followers are little and far between them. However, the campaign was approved at the international level and tried to expand their follows with an increased commercial exposition, a better presence of social media and other ways to get involved.
