Successfully adopted in more than 40 countries, the awareness-raising food campaign named “Lundi vert” (Meatless Monday) has recently been launched in France.
\nThe aim of the campaign is to persuade French people to eliminate the consumption of meat and fish every Monday, on a voluntary basis.
\nThe initiative has been signed by more than 500 French environmentalists, scientists, and artists, including the popular actresses Isabelle Adjani and Juliette Binoche and the astrophysicist Aur\u00e9lien\u00a0Barrau.<\/p>\n

An interesting campaign which encourages people to reflect on their food habits, besides setting a\u00a0stage to give “green food” a chance, thanks to this amazing collective effort.
\nBut, is it all about that? 3-credible-reason to think about it<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

1. An act for the planet<\/h2>\n

Reduction of meat’s consumption is a global challenge<\/strong>.\u00a0Breeding is the starting point of more than 15% greenhouse gasses’ emissions<\/strong>, surprisingly more\u00a0than car traffic<\/a>. The meat’s digestion process causes methane’s emissions in the atmosphere.
\nFurthermore, it’s been discovered that feeding animals with soy-based products has caused very\u00a0large deforestations. The production of meat needs huge amounts of water, on average 7.000 liters\u00a0to obtain only 500 g beef’s meat. To regard with fish, several species are exposed to overfishing’s\u00a0problem: the risk is they could disappear forever.<\/p>\n

Although Mondays without meat won’t probably fix the problem<\/a>, scientists invite not to\u00a0underestimate the impact that campaigns like the Lundi Vert<\/strong> may have on the planet.<\/p>\n

2. An impact on the health<\/h2>\n

The Lundi vert campaign is a science-based call to action. According to the International Agency for\u00a0Research on Cancer, too much consumption of processed meat and red meat is extremely\u00a0dangerous for the health, besides being the origin of much cancer’s cases. Apart from this, obesity,\u00a0the rise of blood glucose and cardiovascular problems may arise from the latter as well.<\/p>\n

The World Health Organization recommends not to exceed the daily meat’s consumption of 72 g,\u00a0an aggregate of max 500 g per week.
\nThus, the decreasing consumption of meat and fish is going to have a real impact on health in\u00a0general, mostly for big consumers. According to the University of Oxford’s data, 2,4 % of deaths\u00a0caused by poor and wrong nutrition could be prevented thanks to the reduction in red meat’s\u00a0consumption.<\/p>\n

3. A battle for animals’ rights<\/h2>\n

The excessive consumption of meat and fish is the main cause of the killing of more than 74 billion\u00a0earth animals<\/strong> per year. For this reason, if on one hand, the reduction of meat’s consumption<\/strong> could\u00a0eventually save the planet, on the other, it will surely the crimes against thousands of animals, killed\u00a0or abused (in little cages to become fat, for example) in the intensive breeding industry.<\/p>\n

Some critics come with the launch of the initiative: “Lundi vert without meat? For our health and\u00a0the one of the planet, we’d rather adopt a diet which consists of varied, local and top-quality food”\u00a0is the opinion of some opponents, which openly fight the campaign in favor of the French beef\u00a0industry.
\nThe debate is still open.<\/p>\n
