Which president encouraged meatless Mondays?
While Woodrow Wilson was the president at the time and likely
advocated this drive, this is not who was associated with these
ideas, nor who lead the movement. As the head of the Food
Administration during World War I, Herbert Hoover used a strategy
called "hooverizing", in which consumers were encouraged to
voluntarily abstain from certain products. This emerged in the form
of wheatless Mondays and meatless Tuesdays. So, the correct answer
would be Herbert Hoover, a future president.
