Meatless Monday is a non-profit initiative in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Heath. In an effort to raise awareness, the campaign aids to bring more mindfulness to food consumption habits. Besides benefiting your pocket book and your body, the big plus behind a meatless meal is environmental. Green efforts such as "bring your own bags" and "reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle" are all good, but individuals can have an even greater impact by making an effort "to eat lower on the food chain". Personally, I've made the choice to not adopt a strictly vegetarian diet. But, I also don't think I need meat everyday. So, in the spirit of "mindful consumption", I"ll commit to a meatless Monday. Tonight's dinner, fried tofu with rice and spicy (shichimi togarishi) sesame dressing (and salad)!
