Chanco Brothers kicks the week off with Mario Mondays. The Last Monday of June, we decided to switch up the routine to Meatless Mondays. A program from the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a simple requirement of not eating meat on Monday that means no pork, chicken, or beef in case we even try to argue. We did hear that eating green and staying away from meat keeps you free from having hangovers. We are also not doing this as rumored due to age concerns. We are doing it simply for personal health reasons which are self explanatory and for the environment. The water consumption of livestock in contrast to grains or vegetables is unbalanced. It takes more than 2,000 gallons of water per pound of beef while tofu only takes about 200 gallons of water. In terms of fossil fuel, it takes 40 calories per pound of beef while it only takes 2.2 calories for a pound of plant based protein. Hopefully the recent ranking of the US in math skills will not affect this comparison. Only in Iran can this kind of counting be taken into consideration. We need to do our share and we need to do it now. One day a week is a start, Monday always sets the tone so let’s just give it a chance to make a difference. Chanco Brothers are not turning into vegetarians but we want to eat tomorrow that’s why we are starting today. www.meatlessmondays.comMeatless Mondays
