Livestock farming creates major environmental problems: A reduction in

meat consumption is inevitable

 

Meat the Truth is the very first documentary to address the

Relationship between livestock farming and climate change. The film is

presented by the Dutch politician Marianne Thieme, member of parliament

for the Party for the Animals in the Netherlands. Meat the Truth is

based on authoritative and influential scientific sources, which

demonstrate that livestock farming is one of the most important causes

of global warming. The conclusions reached by this Dutch production have

already generated more societal debate

Than the underlying reports upon which it is based.

 

The livestock farming industry is responsible for the emission of more

greenhouse gasses worldwide than all the cars, lorries, trains, boats

and planes added together. The calculations used in the film derive

from and have been verified by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of

the United Nations (FAO), the World Watch Institute and the Institute

for Environmental Studies, Free University Amsterdam and numerous other

reliable scientific sources.

 

Many celebrities, such as Pamela Anderson, Bill Maher, James Cromwell,

Emily Deschanel, Tony Denison, Esai Morales, Megan Blake, Debra Wilson

Skelton, Elaine Hendrix, Kate Flannery, Carol Leifer, Joy Lauren, Hal

Sparks, Constance Marie, Kristina Klebe, Skyler Gisondo, Graham Patrick

Martin, Greg Vaughan and Touriya Haoud Vaughan, participated in the

making of this documentary, which has already been described by Dutch

newspapers as being better than Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.

 

The Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation hopes that this film will make a

Valuable contribution to the societal discussion about the transition to

a more plant-based diet and thus also a more humane society. Moreover,

the Foundation also hopes that the film will provide a showcase for the

important reports on livestock farming and climate change, which have

thus far proved inaccessible to the general public.

 

Excerpts from reviews that appeared in major Dutch newspapers:

 

As true as a belching cow; Marianne Thieme has estimated the impact of

livestock farming on the greenhouse effect correctly.

There is nothing wrong with the calculations

The impact of livestock farming has been correctly calculatedIt avoids

all crude effects.

The film lacks the demagogy and the many inaccuracies, which made Gore's

film so weak.

 

NRC Handelsblad.

 

In the film, Marianne Thieme outshines Gore's presentation skills with

verve. In many ways, Thieme proves herself to be a worthy successor to

the Nobel Prize winner.
