And it's clear that Ghent still has some ways to go in its promotion of a healthy lifestyle, even among the city's enlightened vegetarians. "I already follow a vegetarian diet for health reasons," insists Mareije Vanneck, 29, as she sucks on a cigarette. Lees Molenschot, a 64-year-old pensioner sitting in a local pub, says he eats only one meal a day, and always without meat, before adding, "I start out with a coffee in the morning, then five or six beers during the day, maybe some JÄgermeister, and then at 6 I make a healthy meal of vegetables in olive oil."-

I did think that the title was a bit of a stretch though - one day a week of not eating meat does NOT make a vegetarian - and its clear that so far, at least, not all the burghers are heeding ther call!
HOWEVER - Its a darned good idea, though one whose concept is already partially in place in many Catholic environments where meat is not eaten on Fridays.
In my country it would be evry hard to achieve any concensus concerning a beerless day.
To the contrary Friday night is pub night.-

American Catholics only abstain from meat during Lent. As a vegetarian living in an area with a high concentration of Catholics, I look forward to Lent every year because that's when local restaurants expand their menus to include more meatless dishes.
