USDA: Meatless Monday posting was a mistake By SAM HANANEL Associated PressAssociated Press Posted: 07/25/2012 03:56:36 PM PDT

The newsletter referred to United Nations data that cites animal agriculture as a major source of greenhouse gases and climate change.
USDA spokeswoman Cortney Rowe says the department does not endorse the "Meatless Monday" initiative, which is part of a global public health campaign.
The agency removed the posting hours after the National Cattlemen's Beef Association denounced it in a news release. The USDA often promotes the beef industry by encouraging Americans to eat meat.
