wait...no meat of any kind? because I had fish, does that count?
Myriam, the definition is yours to make!
The Meatless Monday initiative advocates cutting back on meat for two reasons: health and environment.
While eating more red meats in particular is less healthy, eating fish is generally regarded as healthy. From an environmental perspective, the raising of cattle and pigs has the largest environmental impact, fowl a little less, and fish less yet.
Many semi-vegetarians (pescetarians or pesco-vegetarians) eat fish, and this is sometimes a transitional phase toward total vegetarianism.
I'm a vegetarian, but I'm not dogmatic or judgemental about it. If Meatless Monday leads some toward vegetarianism, that's great. If it helps get people healthier and helps the environment just by encouraging meat reduction, then that's good too!
