Do watch this short video (only 4 min long) It presents a simple but powerful concept that can change your life and that of many others.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt: ‘I realized that what I was being pitched\u00a0was a binary solution.\u00a0It was either\u00a0you’re a meat eater, or you’re a vegetarian.\u00a0And I guess I just wasn’t quite ready.<\/span> Imagine your last hamburger.\u00a0(Laughter)\u00a0So my common sense,\u00a0my good intentions,\u00a0were in conflict with my taste buds.And I’d commit to doing it later.\u00a0And not surprisingly, later never came.\u00a0Sound familiar?\u00a0So I wondered,\u00a0might there be a third solution?<\/span> And I thought about it. And I came up with one.\u00a0And I’ve been doing it for the last year, and it’s great.\u00a0It’s called weekday veg.\u00a0The name says it all.\u00a0Nothing with a face Monday through Friday.\u00a0On the weekend, your choice.<\/span> Simple.<\/p>\n

If you want to take it to the next level,\u00a0remember, the major culprits,\u00a0in terms of environmental damage and health,\u00a0are red and processed meats.\u00a0So you want to swap those out\u00a0with some good, sustainably harvested fish.\u00a0It’s structured,\u00a0so it ends up being simple to remember. And it’s okay to break it here and there.\u00a0After all, cutting five days a week\u00a0is cutting 70 percent of your meat intake<\/span>.\u00a0The program has been great, weekday veg.\u00a0My footprint’s smaller\u00a0I’m lessening pollution.\u00a0I feel better about the animals.\u00a0I’m even saving money. Best of all, I’m healthier<\/span>,\u00a0I know that I’m going to live longer,\u00a0and I’ve even lost a little weight.\u00a0So please, ask yourselves,\u00a0for your health,\u00a0for your pocketbook,\u00a0for the environment, for the animals, what’s stopping you from giving weekday veg a shot?<\/span> After all, if all of us\u00a0ate half as much meat,\u00a0it would be like half of us\u00a0were vegetarians<\/span>.’<\/p>\n

The practice of vegetarianism needs not be all or nothing.
\nSome mindful reduction of meat consumption
\nis better than total mindless meat consumption.<\/p>\n
