2010 is almost here and most people are thinking about making New Years Resolutions. May I make a suggestion? If you don't want to go all out and become a vegetarian this year - why not make 2010 the start of your Meat Free Mondays?
Did you know that livestock production is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions? That's more pollution than is caused by transportation! By lowering (or stopping) your meat consumption, not only can you help to reduce the suffering of animals, but you can also help save the Earth!
All you have to do is to choose at least one day a week (it doesn't have to be Monday) to eat meals without meat! Afraid you won't have very many options? Well, a lot of the food you eat each week is already meatless. Think about it, you might have toast in the morning, or cereal. For lunch you might have an egg salad or a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, for dinner - how about spaghetti with marinara sauce, garlic bread, and a green salad? Miss the meatballs? Vegetarian meatballs are one of the most delicious meat-alternative foods available!
