That bit came from Stephen Leckie at the Toronto Vegetarian Association. You all know Toronto, right, that big Canadian city north of NYC? Now there's TVA I found a classic collection of articles on TVA, written by David Seigel in the 90's - Dietary Choices, clear, strong, watertight arguments for NOT eating meat, fish, poultry or dairy. Highly recommend.
David is also a web developer wizard, and those pages are also worth visiting, even if you do no design work - he's such a good writer.

Veggie Revolution - Book Review By Harlan Weikle
SV Guest Columnist and Managing Editor of
Greener Magazine
Smart Choices for a Healthy Body and a Healthy Planet
Vegetarians often will tell you that they have chosen a vegetarian diet for health reasons, or over concerns for animal welfare, that the decision was personal or influenced by a loved one, or they may tell you their vegetarian lifestyle is a by-product of their faith. People make decisions about their lives often unilaterally but never in a vacuum because what each of us chooses ultimately impacts society and the world as a whole.
Veggie Revolution, Fulcrum Publishing, by authors Sally Kneidel, Ph.D., and Sara Kate Kneidel, activist, vegetarian cook is a new book about a very old subject, one ignored by most other books on the subject: the connection between vegetarianism, social activism and the environment. Like Pierre-François Bouchard’s Rosetta Stone, which revealed to scholars the connection between two ancient languages, Veggie Revolution illustrates, in one volume, the two languages of vegetarianism and socio-economics revealing at once their interconnected meaning; that to preserve the natural environment man and animal have to return to the principles of good animal husbandry and sensible farming practices.
