Megyn Price Gets “Rules Of Engagement” To Do Meatless Mondays

Actress Megyn Price has done some applause worthy activism on the set of Rules of Engagement. She convinced the food crew on the set to implement Meatless Mondays.
The debut of the event was overwhelmingly positive, offering delicious vegetarian and vegan dishes like Italian stuffed portabello mushrooms, bucatini pasta with roasted garlic, zucchini and sundried tomatoes, rosemary focaccia, tiramisu and eggplant lasagna.
Price blogged about the experience in April.
As expected, the event wasn’t received with open arms by everyone.
“The takeaway is that Meatless Monday was a 75% success – lots of people loved it,” Price wrote. “I know I sound naïve, and, call me Pollyanna, but I expected a little more curiosity and little less animosity. As I look back, I’m proud and happy that, even for just one day, the people I work with and love made a huge, positive, healthy change, and no animals had to be slaughtered in the process. And, by the way, from what I remember, Pollyanna lived happily ever after.”
Besides saving animals, eating meat-free for just one day a week can help save the earth’s resources. According to Meatless Monday, it takes approximately 1,800 to 2,500 gallons of water to produce a single pound of beef but only 220 gallons of water to produce the same amount of tofu in the state of California.
There are several carbon footprint calculators on the web that can help you see exactly what you use–and don’t use–when you choose to eat a plant dish over a meat one.
