If I remember correctly, Catholics eat fish on Friday.

Fish is meat, so it wouldn’t be eaten on #MeatlessMonday.

@sidsmom

No ... you are a bit confused.   We (Catholics) don't have to eat fish on Friday.   

We don't eat "meat" ... defined as the flesh and organs of mammals and fowl.

Cool.

I don’t know much about structured religion, but I do know fish is

a body of a living thing w/ eyes. In terms of being 100% vegetarian,

fish is not eaten. So in the spirit of #MeatlessMondays, fish wouldn’t be

consumed.

The MeatlessMonday twitter feed has the cutest graphics!.

Another page to check out, “Simple Happy Kitchen” on Twitter.

Cute!

In the Roman Catholic world meat is considered from a warm blooded animal.  Therefore fish is allowed.

I'm thinking that meatless Mondays is to make people just look at substituting meat with something else once/week, not eliminating meats entirely

Great idea and I am all for it. However, I will have to start next a Monday since I have so much ham leftover from Easter

I think it's harmless to clarify the definition of meat when you're talking about being meatless.

Doesn't have to mean taking "a bad turn".

I personally define meat as the flesh from any being with a face.

For some people, sure.  For others, it's a jump start to eating less and less meat and for even others, the first step in eliminating it.

I just finished doing this for 6 weeks, on Fri. I am done until next Lent

My heart is fine, and so are my arteries

I would suggest not to turn *meatless monday* into macaroni and cheese day😏
