July Tip: Meatless Monday

Looking for something refreshing during the hot summer months? A cold salad might be just the thing—and it's the perfect excuse to try Meatless Mondays!

Skipping meat just one day a week benefits your health, saves money, and helps the environment. For example, producing one pound of beef uses about 1,700 gallons of water, while a pound of vegetables requires only 39 gallons.

The health benefits are well-documented, and the cost savings add up quickly.

Fun fact: Meatless Mondays began during World War I, when Americans were encouraged to cut back on meat to support the war effort and avoid rationing.

Why not give it a try this summer? Your body, your budget, and the planet will thank you!
