Mario Batali Restaurants Do A Little Better With Less Meat
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 15th, 2010 in Chefs, Environment-Eco-Green, Food & Drink.
As previously reported, Food Network chef Mario Batali‘s new cookbook features an extensive section of meatless recipes.
What’s more, Delaware Online is reporting that Mario’s 15 restaurants are featuring less meat as main courses on the menu than before.
Is Mario ready to open a completely vegetarian restaurant?
Not yet.
But he is encouraging his fans of Italian food to make changes.
“You don’t have to be an obsessive monk. You just have to try to do a little better — and maybe not every day.”
Doing better without being obsessive allowed Mario to lose several pounds, but doing a little better can do a lot for the environment too.
According to Environmental Defense, if every American skipped just one meal of chicken a week and traded it for a vegetarian meal, it would be the equivalent of taking a half million cars off the road in carbon dioxide savings.
Could you do a little better this week and trade the chicken sandwich for a PB & J?
