While I get what you're saying, several of those sponsors are for produce,
nuts, and seafood...and they did say on the index page that there are numerous
sources of protein besides meats.

I dont know what their real motivation is, but if I were to participate in
meatless mondays, I'd have no problem doing so within the confines of my low
carb diet.

But why bother? Meat provides the best source of protein.

I do believe that variety is good (heck, I have a freezer full of seafood
and eat nuts almost daily). But I just have a problem with this "reducing
saturated fat will prevent you from having heart disease," which is
totally unfounded. I don't believe that the premise that reducing
saturated fat by 15% will reduce heart disease. I also believe that
seafood is meat. If the animal gives its life, it's meat.

Now, if they said, "sugar free, partially hydrogenated oils free Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays," then I might be inclined to
believe that they could change things.

One of the things I dropped when going low-carb was meatless Mondays. I'd have
fruit and cheese for dinner, usually with a glass of wine. It was a nice,
light meal, and I dropped it because of the crackers I'd have with the cheese.
Then again, I might try it again with whole grain crackers.

I do believe that variety is good (heck, I have a freezer full of seafood
and eat nuts almost daily). But I just have a problem with this "reducing
saturated fat will prevent you from having heart disease," which is
totally unfounded. I don't believe that the premise that reducing
saturated fat by 15% will reduce heart disease. I also believe that
seafood is meat. If the animal gives its life, it's meat.


Agreed. I realize someone will come in with some compelling reason why seafood
isn't meat, but it's animal flesh. If I went back to my own meatless Mondays,
I wouldn't include smoked salmon or the like because it's animal flesh and, to
my mind, a meatless Monday is a vegetarian day (not a vegan day, however, so I
can still have the cheese).

Now, if they said, "sugar free, partially hydrogenated oils free Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays," then I might be inclined to
believe that they could change things.


This is a brilliant idea. Throw in Saturdays and Sundays, and you've got a
plan!

It's so curious how they can collectively find so much fault with meat & sat
fat but can't seem to have any fault with eating all of the rest of this
man-created frankenfood.

It goes against common sense, if you ask me.
