Should we have Meat Free Mondays in our school next year? by David Robinson https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp Add your arguments for and against our school adopting a policy of holding Meat Free Mondays next year. en-us 2017-05-31 02:30:06 UTC 2019-09-20 06:23:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Caleb https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266520502 I think this meat free sunday would be a very beneficial idea (if the meat producers agree with the idea of meat free monday) , and lower the amount of meat eaten. i have voted yes, but i struggle to see how this will help. It is not like just because we are taking a day off of eating that the meat producers will just stop producing it. They will still produce meat and it will still produce the same amount of bad gases and hurt the environment the exact same amount, all this day will do will stock up meat in stores a little bit.]]> 2018-06-11 01:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266520502 Saffron https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531367 I think meat free Monday would be a very effective and beneficial idea because I think most of us are unaware and don’t realise how much of our planet is taken up by meat producing industries. A whopping 40% of our planet is used and taken up for just meat purposes. Many studies also show that many sources of meat that we eat have many pesticides and germs in them. As well as this studies also show that people with vegetarian, vegan diets or even just consume less meat in general are at a lower risk of many possible death causes such as Heart attack. People may argue that we don’t have access to any source of protein however this is quite untrue as we can protein from things such as eggs, nuts and many legumes. Finally we may find that consuming less meat is in fact cheaper (as vegetables cost less than meat). Feel free to argue or contradict my opinion below.]]> 2018-06-11 03:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531367 No (Personal View) Hugo_H https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531417 I don’t support this because meat helps us by providing protein. However, it is useful in producing less carbon footprint.]]> 2018-06-11 03:51:34 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531417 Lottie 8 https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531541 Vote yes because there are so many things you can eat other than meat like pasta, a sandwich, salad. And if you're only argument for voting no is a lack of protein, just look at this page https://greatist.com/health/complete-vegetarian-proteins . You could eat hummus and carrots, quinoa or rice, or nuts when you get home. 
Or be a good person and by a livin farm.]]> 2018-06-11 03:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531541 Allen and Charlie 8B https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266531706 We vote no because we think we need meat 🥩 protein and we believe that meats are delicious. Meat is a good source of food and I think if we don’t eat meat we will be very tiered for the afternoon lessons especially on a Monday. 😉

The influence of the global trade of food on local diets and cultural choices has exploded over recent years.

Meat tastes good and is very important

All hail Meat]]> 2018-06-11 04:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266532642 Velvet Lung year 10 david_robinson https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266538429 I think that we should have Meat free Mondays in order take action against the high production of carbon emissions from meat producers, as well as improve our own health and diets.
Meat is not necessary in our diets as although it (red meat) provides protein, foods such as beans, nuts, eggs and seeds all provide just as much protein. Their are plenty of foods which can substitute for meat in dishes such as tofu, mushrooms, lentils and eggplant, so having a meat free Monday every week should not be very hard to do!
Furthermore, meat (especially processed meats such as salami and bacon) can increase your risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Meat also carries the highest risk of food borne illnesses, such as E. Coli and Salmonella.
These are just a few scientifically proven reasons why having meat free Monday would not only benefit the environment, but benefit ourselves as well.

Because I think that meat is important for us by providing proteins to our muscles and body growth. For example, if you don't eat chicken breast you will not get enough growth on your body consequently you will be a bit thin without any muscle growth. Also if you don't eat fish, your eye blood vessels will be weaker. Which means your eyesight will not be good. As well as, the taste of meats is very nice.

Though we would need to find a way to convince the students who prefer meat over a vegetarian dish to cut out meat once a week. Many people also argue that having a vegetarian diet can malnourish you of protein. However being a vegetarian myself (Simone), there are plenty of other foods to get protein from, such as nuts, beans, vegetarian meat etc. Also, meat free Mondays are once a week, it's not a lot to ask of you to help our environment.]]> 2018-06-12 00:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266716419 Emmylin https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266716775 In my opinion, Meat free Mondays are a great idea, as long as we don't start having more days meatless, as meat is quite important to our diet, having fibers and such. We also must keep our Meat free Mondays consistent if we ever want to make a difference, and we have to find substitutes for the fiber that our body needs. 

In addition, our school's Meat free Monday isn't going to intensely change the world, not all by itself at least. I believe Meat free Mondays should also involve spreading a message about industrial farming and how it affects the environment, and some ways to improve the quality of our environment due to industrial farming.]]> 2018-06-12 00:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266716775 Anakin (Personal Perspective) https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266716796 I agree with the idea of Meat Free Monday only when the school lunch taste better and cheaper]]> 2018-06-12 00:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266716796 Sherise Cheung 7B https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266721704 I agree with the idea of a week free Monday, well, animals are clearly the point we think about food and if we eat too much of it they would soonly extinct. Around 39% of the meat reducers attempted on meat free Mondays and out of all 97% of the participants had reported that they feel healthier and 87% had clam to feel more energised.

Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and mineral for a diet but if you eat more then 90g ( cooked ) the Deparment of Helath advises all to cut down to 70g or less.

People who don teat meat has a less chance of developing heart disease and bowel cancers.]]> 2018-06-12 01:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266721704 Harsh https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722295 I think that the school shouldn't have the meat free because there are people who are used to non veg and sometimes can't resist themselves from eating meat and will bring meat like chicken, pork, beef, fish, etc]]> 2018-06-12 01:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722295 Gareth https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722321 I think the school should add meat free Monday because it is good for the environment ]]> 2018-06-12 01:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722321 Rohan https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722441 I am a vegetarian.

]]> 2018-06-12 01:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266722760 Luciano Mattoli https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266958140 I don't think the school shouldn't add a completely meat free Monday but at the same time it should add some more meat-free alternatives. While meat is essential for growth as it contains multiple nutrients that our bodies cannot produce by itself, for example, protein, vitamin B12 and iron. While supplements and alternates do exist, they don't provide it in such a way that meat does. The major problem, and motivation for meat free Monday, remains the meat industry itself. It takes up an overwhelming 51% of greenhouse gases emitted and the excrement produced by the animals contains tons of pathogens that are carried by the wind when farmers spray them over their fields. 

It is definitely essential that not only our school but the world as a whole to introduce a more vegan diet but at the same time it shouldn't abolish meat as a whole as no supplement can match meat. So I don't think it should be meat free Monday's but rather 'More meat free than meat' Mondays as the amount of agriculture (half!) taken for the meat industry absolutely needs to reduce it's carbon footprint.]]> 2018-06-13 07:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/266958140 Marcus Y10 marcuswyw https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267032112   I am more for meat-free Mondays than I am against it. 

  Though this is our personal freedoms we are taking away, by having meat-free Mondays theoretically our meat consumption should be reduced. This means meat production can decrease, freeing the now unused space for plant farming instead for feeding relatively more people than the same area of animal farming can in order to contribute to solving world hunger. ]]> 2018-06-13 14:49:44 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267032112 Ava Year 8 https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267142398 We think that eating meat is only okay in moderation. Whilst having a meat free Monday is a very good thing to raise awareness for Global Warming and/or human health. It is a good idea because I think that canteen food may not be grass fed meat. Cows produce methane gases and take up so much space here on planet Earth. Not everybody is vegetarian and I think that this is okay, however having one lunch with no  meat means that people are still making a huge difference. ]]> 2018-06-14 05:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267142398 https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267312813 I don't think that we should have meat free Mondays ]]> 2018-06-15 04:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267312813 https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267312814 I don't think that we should have meat free Mondays beacause meat provides essentials nutrients for our body and we would be far healthier with meat than without it. Also having a Meat free Mondays wouldn't actually do much because even if the whole school does it people outside of school all over the world will eat lots of meat so unless we can get the whole world to do it then having meat free Mondays at is school is kind of useless]]> 2018-06-15 04:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267312814 nicole_chan https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267426458 2018-06-16 03:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267426458 Justin https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/267709001 Honestly in my opinion I think meat free Monday is an idea that can be improved to make a stronger change. Though people won’t eat meat for one day it’s still not enough, the next day we will go back to our usual meals of meat. We can start making our own vegetarian burgers and try it on the students to see if they taste any difference. If they don’t then it can still taste as good yet help the environment more at the sametime. It will save the risk of students getting chemicals and GMO’s in their bodies.

I think meat free monday is a good idea but I think people should have a choice because some people might want to eat meat.

Like in the cafeteria you can have a choice of eating a meal without meat or with meat. And you could even do this everyday.

There are also things to replace meat or you can become pescatarian because fish can also provide the things you need.]]> 2018-06-21 03:38:30 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/268040970 https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/268041370 Although I do like eating meat I think Meat Free Mondays is a good idea and should be adapted into our school. Despite the fact that some people might not like the rule and want to eat meat everyday, it is only one day a week which can make a small contribution to the global goals. It doesn’t take away that much of your freedom and although some people might not follow the idea initially, I think it can really help.]]> 2018-06-21 03:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/268041370 Veg https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/387009188 2019-09-20 06:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/387009188 Anti Vaxx kids https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/387009193 V E G A N S]]> 2019-09-20 06:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/david_robinson/d4l4yk94s8lp/wish/387009193
