Meatless Mondays are Mineral (and Magnesium) Rich
The Baltimore City Public School System has adopted an initiative called “Meatless Mondays,” part of an effort in improving personal health and nutrition in its students. We suspect students’ mineral intake increases as a result of having more healthful options including beans, legumes, nuts and fresh produce. Eating these alternatives to meat, students receive additional magnesium, protein and iron. In addition, they’ll skip the unhealthy saturated fats that come with many meats.
The idea of Meatless Mondays was recently discussed on Oprah.
“People are confused about how to start making improvements to their health, let alone make sizable changes to the environment. Start with what you put on your dinner plate. Start today. You don’t have to become a vegetarian to make a difference. Michael Pollan recently stated on the Oprah show: “Even one meatless day a week — a meatless Monday, which is what we do in my household — if everybody in America did that, that would be the equivalent of taking 20 million mid-size sedans off the road.”
