It’s time to TGIM! That’s right;
it’s time to bring some excitement back to Monday. And what do you ask is will
be spicing up your Mondays? It’s called Meatless Monday!
Does Meatless Monday sound
familiar to you? You may have noticed signs around campus and in the dining
halls in past years, but what exactly is Meatless Monday?
Meatless Monday is a National
movement which encourages people to go meatless one day a week to benefit their
own health and the health of the planet. Some benefits of going Meatless on Monday include,
but not limited to: reduced risk of heart disease, help maintaining a healthy
weight, increase in intake of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and saving
CO2 emissions and gallons of water!
Why Monday? This event occurs every Monday because studies have
shown that when people make goals and plan ahead at the beginning of the week,
they are more likely to continue with these goals and make healthier choices
during the rest of the week.
Want to get involved with Meatless Monday? There are many things
that you can do to get involved during this school year. Every Monday we will be highlighting meatless
entrees in each dining hall. Look for our vegetarian and vegan symbols on menus
and nutrition cards when selecting your meatless dishes! We will also be
tabling in the dining hall during the lunch hour, to answer any questions you
may have about the meatless special of the day, or any questions you have about
Meatless Monday in general.
Can’t get enough Meatless? We will also be posting weekly blogs
about Meatless Monday here, so be sure to check every Monday to see the updated
specials and the latest news on all things Meatless. In addition, Jackie and I
have already taken the challenge and will be posting updates about our personal
Meatless journey. We will also be
posting updates and delicious meatless pictures on our Facebook page every
Monday! If you haven’t done so already, like our Facebook page so you can
receive the most recent updates for Meatless Monday and other dining hall
promotions:
