Meatless Monday is the most pathetic excuse of trying to change anything in your life. I’m not even a full vegetarian myself but I wouldn’t dream of patting myself on the back for not eating one specific type of food for a single day a week.
It’s the social mindset shift that’s important. Start doing things to change, no matter how small, and everything builds from there. Just do something.
It’s because it isn’t really something that is supposed to be very impactful on an individual basis.
The trend to push for people trying to eat less meat instead of no meat is because the majority of the population is unwilling currently to give up meat entirely, and are deciding on no changes to their diet when petitioned to try being vegetarian or vegan. But, if you can get most people to eat just less meat, there is a collective impact to the meat industry, and as a bonus, someone who has already agreed to reduce the meat in their diet is easier to convince to cut more meat than someone who has never agreed to change their diet at all.
I stopped eating beef, I don’t eat meat most days, I don’t drive or own a car and I try to keep all consumption to a minimum. I’m definitely far from perfect but I don’t pat myself on the back for turning off the tap while I brush my teeth, because that’s normal. Eating meat everyday is not normal. So as far as I’m concerned nobody gets a medal for being normal.
Sorry for being so salty btw I was just in a bad mood when I wrote the original comment, oops.

Aren’t you out here patting yourself on the back for not doing that?
I think they imply that they eat no meat for more than one day in a week.
And that’s great but every bit helps
Everything is better than doing nothing. And you do nothing

Rather do meat Mondays, or just switch to chicken.
