Perhaps taking a cue from the Ghent-lemen in Belgium, San Francisco has passed Meat Free Monday legislation, Meat Free Monday legislation-the first of its kind in the United States!
While the resolution won’t be mandated, supervisor Sophie Maxwell urges all restaurants, groceries and schools to offer more vegetarian options.
Join me in raising my carrot stick for a step in the right direction!
UPDATE: One of my fellow Hollaback Health Bloggers just wrote a great posting on the environmental benefits on going meatless just once a week…the reduction in the wear and tear on the Earth is TREMENDOUS. Check out her posting here and also take a look at her blog as she’s my kind of peeps.

It’s so strange to me how people can’t wrap their heads around going meatless for one day a week. I hope other cities will follow San Fran’s lead soon.
