Talk:Meatless Monday

message: I think it should be kept - there is a history behind this and it's very interesting. The current campaign is also very relevant given the obesity problem facing the US today. 
check it out:
During World War I, the US Food Administration urged families to observe "Meatless Mondays," "wheatless Wednesdays," and other measures to help the war effort - ie, by conserving food to be shipped overseas, both to support our troops and as well as to feed (literally) starving populations in Europe where food production and distribution had been disrupted by war. Herbert Hoover was the head of the Food Administration as well as the American Relief Association during Woodrow Wilson's administration, and played a key role implementing the campaign, which was one of Hoover’s many attempts to encourage volunteerism and sacrifice among Americans during the war effort. 
The campaign came back into play with the onset of World War II, calling upon women at the “home front” to play a role in supporting the war effort. During this time meat was being rationed, along with other commodities like sugar and gasoline.

message: The sentence "Several other countries have meat free days as well, including Canada"is a bit strange.  This is virtually unknown in Canada apart from the handful of people who promote it.  No jurisdiction in Canada has declared 'meatless monday'. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:04, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

This World War I poster would add an interesting image to the article. 
I know nothing of permissions here but if anyone would care to ask the University of Minnesota I know they would welcome it being used.
