 | From Elizabeth Scott, M.S., your About Healthy Monday Editor There are many health benefits that come from cutting back on meat and increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Going fully vegetarian, however, is a major lifestyle change that many people prefer not to take on. But what about just one night a week? How about tonight? That's the idea behind the Meatless Monday Campaign, which was created by Robert Lawrence, MD, of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Learn more about it, and participate tonight. You may love the experience. Enjoy your week! --Elizabeth Scott | |
