Well, physiologically speaking, eating a more plant-based diet is generally better for you than eating too much meat.

I think the challenge for those resistant to the idea of Meatless Monday isn't so much about reducing meat intake as it is eliminating it, even be it for a day.

I understand your attachment to meat given your vocation. I just don't see the disadvantage of the average person moderating their meat intake. I know this might have an economic impact on your industry, but it has done reasonably well for a really long time, hasn't it?
