Serious question...not Catholic. Why is meat forbidden on Friday? I am sure there is a reason.
The point of giving up meat on Fridays is to make a small sacrifice to remind yourself that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by dying on the cross for our sins. The tradition dates back to early Rome, because fish was considered a food for the poor and red meats were a luxury.
