Meatless Monday is an initiative of John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health to improve the health of the planet by helping people reduce their meat consumption by 15%. According to the Meatless Monday program, Americans eat eight ounces of meat per day - 45% more than the USDA recommends. Going meatless once a week can help with certain health and weight issues. It also helps the planet by saving fossil fuel and water used in the meat process.

If you are wondering how giving up meat on just one day a week can help your health, studies have shown the periodic behavior change can lead to continuous positive health habits. Monday, being the beginning of the week, is the perfect time to reevaluate our health choices and set the course for the remainder of the week. Meatless Monday is a weekly reminder to start your week off on a healthier note. If you are unable to participate this Monday, next Monday is just six days away and another opportunity to make this lifestyle change.
