The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Ashley Rhinehart of The Humane Society of the United States. She will discuss Meatless Monday! Choosing meat-free meals on Monday is a great way to look and feel better. It can be as simple as swapping chicken nuggets with a bean and rice burrito, putting pork chops aside in favor of a spicy three-bean chili or trying a veggie burger instead of a hamburger. The health benefits are clear: People who eat fewer animal products have lower rates of obesity, dementia, arthritis, high blood pressure and other serious medical conditions. Nutrition experts worldwide are on board; the American Heart Association, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and Kaiser Permanente are among the leading public health organizations that support reducing meat consumption to improve health and prevent disease.

Millions of Americans are getting the message and going meat-free on Mondays. Watch the video, then see how you can join the movement.
