Removing meat from your diet just once a week reduces saturated fat intake by 15%, reducing your risk for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and various cancers.
It’s easy to remember to cut back on meat if you have a set day each week. I work on a non-profit campaign called Meatless Monday which encourages Americans to make healthy, meat-free choices on Monday. Check out http://www.MeatlessMonday.com for more information.

It is still going to be a long uphill battle to bring this logic to light though. Americans love their burgers.
