T.G.I.M - Thank God it's—Monday - Brief Article

Thank God it's--Monday? Twenty-eight Schools of Public Health have joined their counterparts at Johns Hopkins and Columbia University to support Meatless Monday, a public health campaign beginning this year Meatless Monday calls on Americans to eliminate meat from their diets one day a week to reduce the consumption of saturated fat by 15 percent.

Meat consumption in America, higher than in any other country in the world, "contributes to heart disease, stroke and cancel," says Robert Lawrence, MD, associate dean and director of Johns Hopkins' Center for a Livable Future.
