Therefore I am adopting a Double Meat Monday diet. Thats right the Carl's Jr Western Bacon Cheeseburger would suffice for Tues-Sunday but not on Mondays. Needs to be the Double Western Bac Cheeseburger.
It's The Red Button Principle.
(also can be referred as youth encounters 'DO NOT ENTER' signage, stops to ponder, ignores blatant warning, then promptly proceeds in, thus ending the world/getting a spanking.)

Too much meat.

It's like Buy Nothing Day. Do you want to know how many days out of the year I'll go without buying something?

Okay... so what's wrong with me? I get it. I don't belong in North America.

Eat a balanced diet with reasonable (ie small) portions and voila, you're eating healthier and making the planet a better place. It seems like a bizarre thing to get hung up on in my opinion.

I quoted the three most sensible quotes thus stated, because while perhaps for the greater good, this proposed "solution" is just hopeful inanity. How is going meatless on any Monday good for my well-being, let alone for the good of my environment, my country, and the global economy? Come every Tuesday, I'm quite sure the meat that I didn't eat yesterday will still be where it initially was; it just doesn't disappear, regardless of whomever it was that implicitly stated it would, or else what's the purpose of this designated day of selective fasting? I'm all for raising awareness to wherever it may be warranted, but this exactly the opposite of how you go about setting these types of plan in motion - by telling others of which you have no stake in, nor they, you, how to live their lives.
