Pro Meat Group Attacks Meatless Monday Program

Officials with the Animal Agricultural Alliance say they’ve contacted lists of participants in Meatless Monday, finding many of them never have been or no longer are involved in the program, which asks people to go without meat at least one day a week. Unfortunately, nobody from this organization felt the need to reach out to Mobile Cuisine who has been a backer of the Meatless Monday program for the last 3 years.

We have supported Meatless Monday as a way for the mobile food industry to give their customers more choices from their menus and even open themselves up to sales they may not have seen by no providing meatless options. In a recent report by the Animal Agricultural Alliance laid out some pretty outrageous claims against Meatless Monday and the program’s supporters.

Today’s Meatless Monday campaign is not what it seems. It’s not a grassroots effort to celebrate healthy eating. This well-funded, radical campaign pushes an extreme animal rights and environmental agenda by promoting false claims about animal agriculture. The campaign’s clever marketing and celebrity endorsements may be misleading but the public deserves to know the truth.

Bottom line: Meatless Monday seeks to eliminate consumer choice the ability that we each have to determine the right food choices for ourselves and our families. The Alliance believes this is unacceptable and not in line with the beliefs of most Americans.

So according to the Animal Agricultural Alliance, Meatless Monday’s a highly funded group of animal lovers and the groups that have backed them over the years are only useless idiots who merely spout the word of their extremist overlords.

Well, I am here to say that Mobile Cuisine is a backer of the Meatless Monday Program, but at no point have we or the Meatless Monday project managers we have worked with have ever claimed that consumer choice be limited. In fact it’s just the opposite, Meatless Monday is a program that gives consumers more choices.
