Dear FAO, v-e-g-e-t-a-r-i-a-n-i-s-m is not a 4-letter-word!

One actually can pronounce it, write it, research the issue!

Why don't your experts do just that? It's about time! It's getting kind of hot!

Take heart and research the multitude of positive possibilities vegetarianism offers! After all you acknowledged, albeit much too late, the terrible danger created by meat production: "Livestock a major threat to environment"!

Dear FAO, a vegetarian lifestyle has been practiced for thousands of years. This age old way of life remains beneficial to human health, keeps the environment intact and prevents massacres...

Meat pushing does not do any of these things!
