Many meat-eaters shy away from vegetarianism from its mere connection with the political sphere -- with green parties and anarchist movements and hardcore protesters. TreeHugger founder Graham Hill has come up with a concept to bring an herbivorous diet to the mainstream: weekday vegetarianism.
The movement is as simple as it sounds: eat meat only on the weekends. Often compared to Paul McCartney's 'Meat-Free Mondays,' weekday vegetarianism makes a long-lasting impact on the meat industry, the environment and your health.
