It isn't a normal occurrence for a lot of people in the United States, and I think that's one of the reasons for this campaign. I think the general purpose isn't necessarily to designate a certain day to be meatless for everyone, but rather to raise awareness of the consequences of meat consumption, especially meat consumption such as it is in the United States. I think designating a day like Monday with a catchy name like Meatless Monday encourages businesses to get on board more than individual people. Given the difficulty my SO sometimes has finding stuff to eat when we go out (not in our town, but elsewhere) I really welcome any effort to encourage restaurants to put more meatless options on their menus.
