More Than 150 School Districts Participating in Meatless Monday!

Sarah Von Alt August 13, 2015
From major public school districts to leading food
suppliers, celebrities, and restaurants, the movement encouraging people to
skip meat on Mondays has gained momentum in the last few years.
A recent piece by Latest
Vegan News
highlights the widespread adoption of Meatless Monday by
school districts across the country (150 to be exact):

This year alone, 25 K-12 school
districts, a dozen colleges & universities, seven hospitals, and a handful
of corporate cafeterias have adopted these kinds of programs, including
Miami-Dade County schools, the Los Angeles Unified School District, Detroit
Public Schools, and Houston Independent Schools. That’s a lot of plant-strong
lunches. Depending on the school and its implementation strategy, meal options
can include both vegetarian and/or vegan choices.

Meatless Monday is a great way to get people thinking
seriously about the impact of their food choices on their health, the
environment, and animals suffering on modern farms.
Why not use this good news to encourage your friends and
loved ones to start transitioning towards a healthier meatless lifestyle?
