Meatless Mondays

Post by ASUG8 »

The City Council that had earlier declared war on trans fats and fast-food restaurants voted 14-0 on Friday to adopt a resolution urging residents to pledge they won't eat meat on the first day of the week.

The Los Angeles Daily News says it doesn't make Monday meat consumption illegal and police won't be checking what you brought to work for lunch.

The resolution is simply designed to make residents healthier and reduce the impact on the environment.

CBS Los Angeles reported in September that the cafeteria at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center has implemented "Meatless Mondays" once a month. Dana Hunnes a senior dietician at the medical center told the station that eating a vegan diet helps prevent weight gain and diseases like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

:ohno: A sad state of affairs that you begin having to legislate what people can or can't have to eat because we won't take care of ourselves on our own.

At this point we're pretty much doomed to being a nation of fat, lazy slobs. Legislation like this isn't going to do much to change that.

If you want some "awareness Legislation"
pass something that makes Americans walk through their local Wal-Mart
That alone is enough to terrify you into correcting your diet

It was so much easier in days of yore when you could control what people ate just by making a religious decree.

Couldn't do Meatless Fridays could they? Don't want to help the cause by capturing the Catholics?

I had a burrito for lunch (ground beef) yesterday. :thumb:
I had shrimp for dinner last night. :thumbdown: :ohno: :ohno: :ohno:

I am sorry.

Hmmm....rarely do I put "walk" and "Wal-Mart" in the same sentence. Aren't most of those people riding the little motorized carts around the store? :?

More vegetarian pseudoscience being peddled like it's fact.

Here's a rule of thumb for meat....the more sophisticated an animal's brain is, the less healthy it is to eat it. You don't need to give up meat...just eat certain meats less.

Eating meat at every meal is a 20th century thing. Meat these days are pumped full of hormones and all that crap that you eventually ingest . Really the best meat is that you catch and/or hunt, it's more pure.

The company I work for has a free fruit Tuesday, which is a better way to encourage eating healthy food, IMO. Oranges today. :thumb:

Speaking of what you eat, I have your venison here at the office. Let me know when you are swinging by so I'll have it ready. Bring a cooler!
Dear lord... please allow this dangerous combination of hair spary, bat slobber, and D.O.T. four automatic transmission fluid to excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me. All my Best, Earlie Cuyler.
