Meatless Mondays
 Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich are joining the Meatless Monday Movement!
Meatless Monday is a non-profit public health initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The goal is to help people reduce their meat consumption by 15% to improve personal health and the health of the planet.
On average, Americans consume 8 ounces of meat per day – 45% more than the USDA recommends. Going meatless once a week can reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help limit your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel. Mario and Joe are just two of the big names in food that have decided to join the campaign, celebrities and leaders such as Michael Pollan, Al Gore, Sir Paul McCartney and Gwyneth Paltrow are backing the movement and the entire city of San Francisco just signed on to participate.
Every Monday, beginning May 3rd, our restaurants will offer a vegetarian pasta
especially in honor of Meatless Monday.
