- javagram 8y agoMeatless Monday, according to Wikipedia, is intentionally not on the traditional day of religious abstinence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatless_Monday https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meatless_Monday “Meatless Monday focuses its initiative on Mondays for several reasons. Friday is traditionally already a meat-free day among Catholics and Orthodox” FWIW as a catholic I’m pretty sure the majority of Americans in my denomination no longer follow this practice outside of the 40 days of lent anyway. But this does mean religious believers now will have to go two weekdays without meat in the NYC public schools, one forced by the city and one by their religious tradition.
