I am with you all the way that cutting meat from your diet from a day of two a week can greatly improve your health and quality of life. That's why I work for an organization called Meatless Monday, which seeks to encourage Americans to do just what you are doing: go meatless just one day a week. After all cutting back by 15% (one day a week) lowers your risk to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cancer. Those are the four leading causes of death in the US and they are all preventable. Meatless Monday is affiliated with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, so it can be a great resource for health and wellness information also. The Meatless Monday website, http://www.meatlessmonday.com, is a great resource for quick, delicious, affordable meatless recipes. This week there is a holiday entertaining theme. Who knew a chocolate-glazed mocha cake could be healthy too? Yum. It is a challenge to stay healthy and balanced when your life is busy and chaotic.
