"It is more and more obvious that excessive meat consumption is a severe problem. It causes obesity, heart disease and other illnesses in people. It causes unspeakable agonies in factory farming and a cruel death in the slaughterhouse. Left behind are clear-cut rainforests, contaminated soil and groundwater—and a planet Earth that is being driven directly into the climate disaster.

Who brought this on us? ... The hunters? The butchers? The industry bosses? The greedy consumers? Everyone together? Anyone who sharpens his view finds the profession that already centuries ago laid the cornerstone for the brutal disregard of life—and upholds this ""tradition"" until today ...

Another sample:

"About 1600 years ago, Jerome (347-420) compiled the first comprehensive translation of the Bible (into Latin). He knew that Jesus said not to eat meat. Why did Jerome not include this teaching in the New Testament, even though there are apocryphal writing that unequivocally report about this? Why not?
