Fuck that. I deem every Monday "Meaty Monday" where everyone should eat a double portion of meat.

LA is just getting more and more ridiculous.

They aren't forcing it on anyone, at least, just suggesting it.

Going a day without meat a week is pretty good for your body and wallet if nothing else. I love my steak, bacon, chicken, and fish (if that even counts) as much as the next person, but I go days without eating meat sometimes without even realizing it and it's not a big deal. It'll probably save tax payers a good amount of money if there weren't so many people with high cholesterol and heart disease from eating red meat all the time.

Now, I feel like if you just switched to more chicken or fish throughout the week or even deer, the benefits would be just the same, though. At least they don't tax you for being overweight like they do in Japan.
 
So Mondays already one of the worse work days of the week (mainly as we know we have the rest still to come lol) they now want to make it worse by not wanting people to eat meat? Damn. I'm glad i live in the UK, where we put meat in our pies :lol:
 
Damn, Catholics would have it hard in LA... no meat on Mondays OR Fridays?

:p
 
As a vegetarian, I think it's silly to try to nudge people into some day without meat. That being said, I was surprised to read a thread on another forum I'm apart of where people were talking about having their own meatless day, and trying out veggie burgers and veggie chicken patties. I didn't even know this was a thing, but I'm for anything that gets my grocery store to stock up more of a variety of Boca and Morning Star products, lol.

We have quite a few Indians at work, and I must say swiping part of their lunch is a highlight of the day. They are almost exclusively vegetarian, but its often hard to tell. Western vegetarians make a thing about surrogate meat, but its not needed if your skills are up to indian food.

I like a nice steak on occasion, but I don't red meat much any more. tuna, chicken and the odd ham/bacon is it. Red meat I would be lucky to eat much more than once a month. That said, I am off to find a really nice steak for lunch :)

Are most of you suggesting that the article defines "meat" as only beef? Meatless, to me, means no beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc.

Has the definition of meat changed to mean only red meat? If so, the term "red meat" will become unnecessary soon.

Well. I've spoken to any number of idiot vegetarians that claim fish and chicken aren't "meat", so go figure.

Yeah I agree with your definition, and also fish. I know it's commonly not included as meat but really, why not? It's animal flesh, it's meat.

My definition of meat is "flesh" as I suspect mosts definition is, We are, despite some rather dubious "facts" to suggest otherwise carnivorous by nature, we are hunter-gatherers. The best dietary advice I have ever read is to "Think like a caveman" raw products, cooked meats etc, nothing processed a good diet consists of a large amount of protein that would be difficult to consume eating a veggie diet (not impossible)

I'm an awful vegetarian diet wise. I grew up in the south east on hamburgers, so all the faux meat made the switch a lot easier for me. I agree that Indian and Chinese people work wonders with vegetarian dishes.

And a good thing too...


These sylphette young things would need to sell their blubber to an oil company to pay it.

Wow what size pizza is that? Do you have to special order that or what? I've never seen a pizza that large, it's like a tractor wheel.
 
Whenever I see this thread I think it should be about women having sex without men on Mondays.

I'm for this! :lol:
 
It's not just L.A. doing things like this. New York (City) has actually enacted a ban on selling sugared drinks over 16 ounces. Some types of vendor are exempt from the ban, and there are ways around it, but it's more than just a suggestion. At least the meatless Monday thing is just a recommendation.

Its a first step in trying to curb obesity. It won't make a lot of sense or probably achieve much, but sets a precedent. No one needs to drink 2 litres of coke with a mean unless they have lost all perspective of what is a reasonable serving. As our two little friends her show, there are grounds for the city's concern.

Grounds for concern, certainly, but is it something government should be dictating? Education might be more reasonable. Also, 2 liters is more than 4 times the 16 ounce limit set by the city.

government dictates health related stuff all the time, I've disagreed with some of it in the past but a ban on giant sugary drinks is hardly worse than ridiculous taxes on cigarettes or making it criminal to get high.

I find that picture above really disturbing. For a start I think it's gross that they appear to be gleefully killing themselves, and secondly check out the thin guy behind them. The "feeder"! One day they're going to finish their dinner, still be hungry, and start on him.

I know the meatless monday is only a recommendation and such. I don't think it could legitimately ever become an actual law since you can eat meat in healthy ways. I do think that putting a limit on the size of soda can be acceptable. They aren't telling you you can't have it, they're saying if you want more than the recommended amount, you have to pay twice (or 4x in the case of these obese-beasties wanting a 2 liter.)

This picture confuses my brain. It makes me want to eat pizza (nom nom nom) but shows me I should just eat a salad and have some water instead.

Also, meatless Monday would bum me out so I'm really glad I live in Minnesota.

is she opening like....salad dressing or mayo or something there too? ><
 
Ranch. Duh. There aren't enough calories and fat on the pizza, gotta pour ranch dressing on it! Don't you know these things??
 
It looks like Hidden Valley ranch actually. :lol:


What I really want to know is, where the fuck can I get a pizza that big? :shock: I swear I have NEVER seen a pizza that big in Nashville and they're supposed to have shit like that here. Dude, if I had a pizza like that, we'd be eating pizza leftovers for at least 4 days and then I wouldn't have to fight BJ to back off my damn food.

I dunno but if their half-starved slave in the background didn't fetch it, they sure as hell didn't walk and pick it up

I vaguely remember when I was a kid, that the local pizza joints around here would have monster sized pizzas for Super Bowl Weekend and my family would order one. Mind you, everybody in the family was over nomnoming on that pie and it still almost seemed like too much!

I vaguely remember a place in LA, California that had a 54 inch square pizza pie. I never understood the Ranch dressing thing either, especially on hot wings. If you don't want hot, hot wings, don't order them spicy hot.

Governments have run out of things to tax, so they say they're doing it for your own good. BS!

France is trying to impose a fatty tax.

fatty tax.

Back before Buffalo wings became widespread, a college roommate of mine used to bring some back from Buffalo whenever he went home. They always came with blue cheese dressing and celery. They were spicy but not crazy spicy. I think the "how spicy can you handle" thing happened later on. The dressing just tasted good with them. I guess some places use ranch now. I've never seen a pizza with either kind of dressing, but it does sound like overkill to me.
