About

Meat Free Monday is a not-for-profit campaign launched by Paul, Mary and Stella McCartney.

#MFMCountMeIn

I've been getting my family to go meatless at least 3 times a week. It's healthier for everyone and better for the planet.

#MFMCountMeIn

Meat Free Monday has given me the opportunity to educate myself on foods that I would not have usually have eaten before.

George

#MFMCountMeIn

It keeps me creative in the kitchen, and I am helping reduce my impact.

Rebecca

#MFMCountMeIn

Previously dinner planning always started with ‘what meat’, and the rest of the meal was built around it. Meat Free Monday helps change that mindset.

Kristina

#MFMCountMeIn

Meat Free Monday is a great initiative to encourage people to have a healthier diet, save animals and the planet for at least once a week.
