An answer to our prayers?

Just when I was asking who would stand up for global warming and animal consumption as directly linked issues, who should come along, unsurprisingly, but Sir Paul McCartney. I heard mention of this crusade on Keith Olbermann last night but no matter how hard I tried this was all I could come up with. http://www.ecorazzi.com/2007/12/19/paul-mccartney-urges-world-to-go-veggie-for-the-environment/ More on this later...
This article refers to Sir Paul and his advocacy of rat's milk for optimal nutritional value but he was only saying that because he must have recently read "Diet for a New America". Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Diet-New-America-John-Robbins/dp/0915811812) and it is also available via Google Books. If you haven't read it and you're vegan or thinking about becoming vegan, you should.
I came across this article, for all you Prius lovers, of this incredibly pertinent article.
http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0120-20.htm It's extremely well-written and if you don't want to take the time to read Diet for a New America then this is a quick, less graphic and detailed summary of the main issues surrounding veganism and global welfare.
