Steve King on Thursday blasted the concept of “Meatless Mondays.“
“Meatless Mondays” claims that it is a “non-profit health initiative, encouraging people around the world to go meatless one day a week for their health and the health of the planet!”
They say their mission is to “aim to reduce meat consumption by 15% in order to improve personal health and the health of our planet.”
King said, “I never expected to see a leprechaun, I never expected to see a unicorn, and I never, never expected to see “Meatless Mondays” at the United States Department of Agriculture. I said, ‘I’m going to declare this heresy.'”
The USDA recently said it does not support “Meatless Mondays.” Their press team said via Twitter that “USDA does not endorse Meatless Monday.”
