Meat-free days
Meat-free days are declared to discourage or prohibit the consumption of meat on certain days of the week. Mondays and Thursdays are the most popular days. There are also movements encouraging people giving up meat on a weekly, monthly, or permanent basis.
== History ==
Historically, this was generally done for religious reasons (e.g. the Friday Fast). In the Methodist Church, during the season of Lent, "abstinence from meat one day a week is a universal act of penitence."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What does The United Methodist Church say about fasting? )〕 Anglicans (Episcopalians) and Roman Catholics traditionally observe Friday as a meat-free day as well. Historically, Anglican and Catholic countries enforced prohibitions against eating meat on certain days of Lent. In England, for example, "butchers and victuallers were bound by heavy recognizances not to slaughter or sell meat on the weekly 'fish days,' Friday and Saturday." In the Eastern Orthodox Church, both Wednesdays and Fridays are meat-free days. In the Lutheran Church, both Fridays and Saturdays are historically considered meat-free days.
Meat-free days have also been practiced due to rationing during wartime (e.g. Meatless Tuesdays in Canada〔("Making Do with Less": Rationing in Canada )〕 along with the United States, which also instituted Wheatless Wednesdays, during WWI〔(The Way We Ate: The Year Harry Truman Passed on Pumpkin Pie )〕), or in states with failing economies.
In the People's Republic of Poland, the meat-free day was a custom cultivated by the government because of a deficit in the market. It was targeted at limiting meat consumption, mainly in favour of flour-based foods. The meat-free day was traditionally Monday, or later Wednesday. For older generations non-meat day is Friday.
