San Francisco Adopts Meat-Free Mondays

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a meatless Monday resolution on Tuesday, sponsored by Supervisor Sophie Maxwell. The measure declares every Monday as “Vegetarian Day” and urges restaurants, grocery stores and schools to offer more plant-based options.

Maxwell is a vegetarian and she believes if residents gave up meat once a week, it would improve their health. Her resolution would not require meatless Mondays, but would encourage them.

It’s part of an international campaign. Last year the city of Ghent, Belgium became the first with “official” weekly veggie days.

Makes sense. They adopted a brain-free existence a long time ago.

    Why didn't they choose Friday over Monday? The catholic church would have even joined in the effort.

    Oh … San Francisco … never mind. What was I thinking?
