Now eating vegetarian on a regular basis is really the best way to go, vegetarian statistically weigh less than non vegetarians, it’s a simple fact of life.  But this being said, even eating vegetarian once per week, that’s all, is a big deal.  But basically speaking, it cuts out the animal fats that are often responsible for greater obesity, greater heart disease, and greater problems in general.  This being said, they are calling it Meatless Monday in some schools such as the John Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. 

They want to reduce meat consumption by just 15%.  It’s not vegetarian really if it’s just one day a week.  But at the same point in time this Meatless Monday is making a huge difference in those who choose to really participate.  It will reduce cholesterol and heart disease, and people are more likely to actually have more antioxidants and more vitamins and minerals in their diet.  After all, you do have to replace the meats with something else.  Basically speaking, it has a slight cleansing effect with more fruits and vegetables, and over time many incorporate more of these foods not only on that day, but the rest of the week as well.  So basically, Meatless Monday makes a huge difference.
