<p>We mentioned this in yesterday's <a href="http://sfist.com/2010/04/06/day_around_the_bay_421.php">Day Around the Bay</a>, but its unadulterated attention-whoring is so profound, its own article seems more than necessary. See, inept Supervisor Sophie Maxwell concocted something called <a href="http://www.cattlenetwork.com/San-Francisco-Approves-Resolution-For-Meat-Free-Mondays/2010-04-07/Article_Latest_News.aspx?oid=1036878&amp;fid=CN-LATEST_NEWS_&amp;aid=760">Meat Free Mondays</a>, which was unanimously passed by the Board of Supervisors yesterday. This arid resolution will urge restaurants, markets and schools to observe no meat on Mondays. </p>

<p>In response, SFist will promote meat-based recipes and deals on Mondays. Not because we want to do it, but because we <em>have</em> to do it. </p>

<p>Now, we hardly champion the OMG-bacon-on-everything neanderthals roaming among us, and we've strained our eye muscles more times than we can count at Anthony Bourdain's <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/10/anthony_bourdains_shtick_wears_thin.php">painful shtick</a>. Quite the contrary, we adore a well-prepared <s>vegan</s> raw meal; however, Meat Free Mondays, comparatively, is unnecessary for San Francisco. Who in this city needs to learn about alternatives to meat? No one, that's who. Absurd. This is like, say, passing a Gay Bar Tuesdays resolution.<br>
