"Meatless Mondays" Endorsed By City Of LA

Wouldn’t it be great to get Veggie Thursdays endorsed by the government here in Singapore too?!

Los Angeles is turning vegetarian � at least one day per week.

Under a resolution unanimously approved by the City Council earlier this month, all future Mondays in the City of Angels have been declared “Meatless Mondays.”

It’s part of an international campaign to cut down on meat consumption for health and environmental reasons.

Both the spiritual home of the hamburger and a haven for the
health-obsessed, Los Angeles became the largest city in the nation to support the Meatless Monday campaign. The nonprofit initiative,
started in 2003, is associated with Johns Hopkins University’s public
health school. With a council resolution approved Friday, Los Angeles became the biggest city to endorse the “Meatless Monday” movement to reduce meat consumption for health and environmental reasons.
