University Dining Services at the University of Minnesota is joining the Meatless Monday movement. The campaign coincides with UDS' mission to encourage positive health and wellness along with protecting and improving the environment.

Meatless Monday promotes skipping meat for one meal eavery week since such a practice can help reduce your impact on the environment. Meat products typacally produce more Green House Gases than fruits and vegetables along with requiring more resources in order to be raised properly.

UDS notes that there will still be meat options offered on Meatless Monday, but they will not be as prominent, as a menu highlighting vegan and vegetarian options will be created. UDS encourages students, faculty and staff to look ahead at what will be offered on its NetNutrition website, which shows menus up to a week ahead of time.
