We are hearing a lot about taking a day or more off from eating meat. One very recognizable figure, Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former “Governator” changed his attitude toward meat. According to The Daily Meal online; …At a recent Climate Summit (he) discussed ideas on how people can make a personal impact on climate change; Arnold suggested, “going vegetarian once or twice a week. … 28 percent of greenhouse gases come from eating meat as a result of livestock farming. People will buy in to stop eating meat one or two days a week — you have to start slowly. It’s a very big challenge but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done.”
