The documentary Meat the Truth is the first major project undertaken by the
Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation. Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary,
presented by Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which
forms an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change.
Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to
the issue of global warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most
important causes of climate change, namely: intensive livestock production.
Meat the Truth has drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock
farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars,
lorries, trains, boats and planes added together.
The Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation chose to compile the best scientific
information on climate change and livestock farming, which is presently
available and to translate this for a broader audience. The film was produced
by Claudine Everaert and Gertjan Zwanikken. The calculations on greenhouse gas
emissions used in the film derive from and have been validated by the Food and
Agricultural Organisation of the UN (FAO), the World Watch Institute, the
Institute for Environmental Studies of the Free University Amsterdam and
numerous other authoritative sources.
Well-known Dutch celebrities, such as Anthonie Kamerling, Georgina Verbaan,
Henk Schiffmacher, Yvonne Kroonenberg, Karen van Holst Pellekaan,
Wim.T.Schippers and Dolf Jansen, participated in the making of the Dutch
version of this documentary, which has already been deemed better than Al
Gores An Inconvenient Truth by the science editors of the quality Dutch daily
newspaper, the NRC Handelsblad.
In the meantime, the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation has also produced an
international version of Meat the Truth. This English language film is better
tailored to an international public and uses calculations on the carbon
savings that may be achieved by reducing ones meat consumption based on
American, rather than Dutch, examples.
Many well-known 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
the international version of the film.
With this documentary, the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation hopes to make a
contribution to the societal discussion about a more plant-based and thus also
more animal-friendly diet and society. Moreover, the Foundation also
anticipates that the film will provide a showcase for prominent scientific
reports about livestock farming and climate change, which unfortunately have
thus far proved inaccessible to the general public.
The world premiere of Meat the Truth was held on 10th December 2007 in the
Tuschinski cinema in Amsterdam. The international version of the film
premiered at London's Odeon West End Cinema in Leicester Square on 19th May
2008 and has since also had its premiere screening in the USA at the Egyptian
Theatre, Hollywood, LA during the Artivist Film Festival on 3rd October 2008.

13% ra daw ang cars nga maoy usa sa hinungdan sa global warming, 18% ang na contribute sa meat sector.

There's no such thing as man-made global warming... Carbon is no way connected to global warming... It's just a propaganda done by Al Gore...

There are already given alternatives for Lumber needs. What we need is a more eco-friendly Mass Transport, Energy Source and more forests. The most important is the reduction of CO2 emissions pero gahi ju'g utok ang mga developed nations like the U.S nga ang single largest polluter sa kalibotan. The Philippines will be one of the most adversely affected and devastated by Climate Change so dapat kita na mismo ang muatiman sa atong kaugalingon.

great! we could do all that while BP's oil rig is leaking out 24/7 at the rate of thousands of barrels per day
