			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><strong>Les lundis sans viande</strong></p>
<p>À chaque lundi, sans le moindre doute, une nouvelle semaine recommence, le week-end est déjà derrière nous, on essaie d&#8217;oublier les excès et on se concentre sur la semaine à venir. Nous reprenons la routine avec tout plein de bonnes résolutions, veiller à ma santé, à mon alimentation et sauvegarder la planète. Est-ce possible de tout combiner ?</p>
<p>Bonne nouvelle! Il y a actuellement un nouveau mouvement américain en émergence au Canada, le « meatlessmondays » ou dans sa version française,  le <strong>« lundisansviande ».</strong> Ce mouvement essaie de motiver une masse de gens à adopter, une journée par semaine, un menu sans viande. Un comportement qui s’avère excellent pour votre santé mais aussi pour la santé de la planète puisque cette pratique diminue la production de gaz à effet de serre.</p>
<p><strong><em>(18 % des gaz à effet de serre dans le monde proviennent de l&#8217;élevage du bétail)</em></strong></p>
<p>Le Dr Rajendra Pachauri, qui préside le Groupe d&#8217;experts intergouvernemental des Nations Unies sur les changements climatiques, a déclaré que l&#8217;agriculture, à base de viande, produit des quantités énormes de gaz à effet de serre. Ce spécialiste de l&#8217;environnement, co-lauréat du Prix Nobel 2007, a déclaré que s&#8217;en tenir à des légumes une fois par semaine aurait des effets plus bénéfiques que de réduire les trajets en voiture.</p>
<p>Une journée sans viande c&#8217;est différent, facile, délicieux et si bénéfique pour la santé !</p>
<p>On croirait entendre une infopub mais non, c’est une réalité. Il faut se rendre à l&#8217;évidence; manger végé ce n&#8217;est pas une mode, ce n’est pas non plus juste pour les marginales ou pour  des jeunes ados en recherche d&#8217;identité, c’est une prise de conscience saine et combien profitable.</p>
<p>Il est prouvé que l&#8217;alimentation végétarienne réduit l&#8217;incidence de maladies telles que l&#8217;ostéoporose et l&#8217;arthrite, les risques d’accidents cardio-vasculaire, le cholestérol et certains cancers. Manger végé est aussi économique et ne veut pas nécessairement dire manger des petites graines ou des racines peu appétissantes. Avec très peu d&#8217;efforts, il est possible de se faire un menu digne d&#8217;un roi et surtout,  n’ayez crainte de manquer de protéines ou d&#8217;énergie, bien au contraire, vous serez surpris de constater que votre lundi sera probablement la journée la plus productive de la semaine.</p>
<p><strong>Un lundi sans viande</strong>, c&#8217;est un début, une conscientisation des peuples carnivores. Le végétarisme à temps partiel, un lundi à la fois. Une journée, une toute petite journée où les légumineuse envahiront la boîte à lunch et où le tofu viendra s&#8217;infiltrer dans votre souper. Ça vaut le coup d’essayer. Il y a actuellement un choix très intéressant de recettes originales et faciles à faire de même qu’une grande possibilité de suivre des cours de cuisine  pour vous aider à développer ce nouveau volet culinaire. Bref,  il n&#8217;y a plus d’excuses.</p>
<p>Soyez créatifs, innovateurs et démarrer ce mouvement au bureau, à l&#8217;école, au restaurant ou à la cafeteria et vous verrez exploser la créativité, amusez-vous à repenser le pâté chinois ou la lasagne sans viande.  Aucune limite à l’imagination, allez-y, réinventez-vous une santé!</p>
<p>En terminant voici une définition du terme végétarisme proprement dit</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Végétarisme</span></strong></p>
<p><em>Pratique alimentaire qui exclut la chair des animaux donc qui n&#8217;accepte que les produits du règne végétal: céréales entières, légumineuses, noix, graines, légumes, fruits. Ce régime alimentaire ne comporte pas plus de risques de carences qu&#8217;un régime alimentaire omnivore. </em></p>
<p><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lacto-ovo</span></em></strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> végétarisme</span></em><em>: </em></p>
<p><em>inclut les sous-produits du règne animal comme les produits laitiers et les oeufs.</em></p>
<p>&#8211; <em>Dominique Dupuis</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;I a non-vegetarian who is passionate about sustainability, I am pleased to support this initiative aimed at reducing consumption of resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by reducing our meat consumption. It is empowering to be able to do something personally to make a difference, unlike most strategies for preventing climate change that hinge on government action. It takes a little effort each week, but I am finding some good recipes and it is getting easier for me to go meatless on mondays and more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bio: Naomi Devine is the Whistler2020 Sustainability Coordinator for the Resort Municipality of Whistler. She has a history as a climate change and sustainability policy advisor who has co-written the University of Victoria’s first sustainability policy and action plan, and was appointed to British Columbia&#8217;s Climate Action Team, which offers the Cabinet Committee on Climate Action policy advice on measures to achieve its legislated greenhouse gas reductions of 33% below 2007 levels by 2020, as well as setting interim targets for 2012 and 2016. In 2006 she represented Canadian youth as a member of the Canadian Youth Delegation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference [UNFCCC COP 12, MOP 2], in Nairobi, Kenya. She is a co-founder of Common Energy at the University of Victoria, and a Director with the BC Sustainable Energy Association.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bio: David Sinclair has two solo acoustic guitar CDs, &#8220;No Words&#8221; and &#8220;Acoustic Christmas&#8221;, which has twice been on The Province (Vancouver) ‘All Time Favorite Christmas Albums’ list. As a member of both Sarah McLachlan’s and kd lang’s bands, Sinclair has toured North America, Europe, and Japan and has appeared on television programs including Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O’Brien, The Grammy Awards Show, and the Juno Awards. As a studio guitarist, he has recorded with countless artists and has played on and/or written for many TV series. Other credits include the Vancouver Symphony, and theatre productions including Showboat, Jacques Brel, Cookin’ at The Cookery, and Spamalot.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been vegetarian most of my life, and am quite aware of the environmental impact of our food choices. The health benefits of lowering animal based food consumption are well documented, and the personal economic benefits can be fairly significant as well. This initiative seems like a great idea to send the message to the masses, rather than just to those already following a more plant based diet.&#8221; &#8211; David Sinclair</p>
