' Meatless Monday is a national health campaign to help Americans prevent heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer - four of the leading causes of death in America. About the Campaign Synopsis CUT THE SATURATED FAT LIVE LONGER! The Meatless Monday goal is to reduce consumption of saturated fat by at least 15% by 2010. This is consistent with the dietary recommendations of the US Dept. of Health and Human Services, the US Dept. of Agriculture, and the American Heart Association. Contradictory messages about health and nutrition have confused Americans about what we should eat. One message is clear: we eat too much meat and not enough of the fruits, vegetables and whole grains that help prevent heart disease, stroke and cancer. JUST ONE DAY A WEEK FOR HEALTH! Meatless Monday is a great way to start the week out right encouraging people to take an approach of moderation '-Meatless Monday Campaign
