Meatless Monday is ultimately promoted from a concern of animals - I don&#x27;t see the concepts as being analogous beyond a superficial similarity.<p>I&#x27;ve got to say, even as a former Catholic, I don&#x27;t understand meatless Fridays. There is certainly no level of sacrifice required to abstain from meat. And if there were even a tinge of moral reasoning behind the decision, why only one day a week? Seems like another strange artifact.
