"One U.S. city has made a bold move by declaring &amp;quot;Meatless Mondays&amp;quot; in the name of health and the environment. City residents are encouraged not to eat meat on this day of the week and restaurants are encouraged to offer more vegetarian fare. What do you think? (Sorry, but that photo is making me really hungry! For the sake of this post, let&amp;#x27;s pretend it&amp;#x27;s a Boca.) The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is asking residents not to eat meat on Mondays. That&amp;#x27;s right, better not order a steak or the roast chicken while eating al fresco on a Monday night this spring in San Fran, or risk getting a dirty look or two. The measure, passed this week, urges &amp;quot;all restaurants, grocery stores and schools to offer a greater variety of plant-based options to improve the health of San Francisco residents and visitors and to increase the awareness of the impact a green diet would be on our planet.&amp;quot; San Francisco officials say the meat industry is a contributor to environmental problems. They also point to research that links a diet high in meat consumption with health problems that include cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The city&amp;#x27;s new measure falls in line with efforts of the national nonprofit organization Meatless Mondays associated with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. What do you think of San Francisco&amp;#x27;s approach? Would you like it if your city adopted a similar measure? Or, does this strike you as over the top? P.S. You won&amp;#x27;t believe what these cupcakes are frosted with (hint: it&amp;#x27;s green!). Plus, vegan condoms? Yes, some people are very particular. Plus, the perfect cookbook for the vegetarian whose dating a carnivore, and vice versa! More Ways to Get Glamour Visit Shopglamour.com for cute stuff starting at just $10!
