i dont think anyone's spared a thought for the farmers here.
sure, we can go meatless for a day. We could go a week if we really tried. But will it make a difference? Not really. This world is all about the power of the market.
what do i mean? Well, the farmers have a set overhead usually that they must cover in order to make a budgetted profit. You reduce the turnover for them, and they'll be forced to automatically increase the cost/kilo of meat. The less meat thats on the market, the more expensive it's going to be. Thats the law of the market.
On the other hand, i do recall a few years ago now when petrol prices shot through the roof, some groups tried to influence the buying habits of motorists and the selling prices of the service stations by not buying petrol on a certain day .
What motorists did instead was buy the same amount of petrol the day before or the day later. It made no difference in the consumption of petrol because people did what they usually do and service themselves with whatever resources they need to get by everyday.
My point? people will buy whatever meat they want/need and Meatless Mondays will die like a rack of lamb ribs..with veggies of course.
