This film is considered a sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth," as Al Gore's film highlights issues caused by global warming but fails to mention the largest culprit of global warming—animal husbandry. The film reveals the impact of livestock and dairy farming on global warming, which is greater than all greenhouse gas emissions from transportation worldwide. Well-known Dutch actors, writers, and politicians appear in the film, sharing their views on vegetarianism. The film also cites scientific evidence presented by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) regarding the significant impact of livestock farming on climate and the environment. Some facts mentioned in the film are as follows: * Each cow emits carbon dioxide equivalent to the emissions of a car running 70,000 kilometers in a year. * Vegetarians, even when driving a Hummer, are more environmentally friendly than meat eaters riding bicycles. * If all Dutch people do not eat meat for one day a week, it would achieve the Dutch government's annual carbon emission reduction target. * Approximately 400 million hectares of soybean crops in South America are grown for cattle; if grown for human consumption, only 25 million hectares would be needed to meet global demand. Scientists from Vrije University Amsterdam provided expertise during the film's production. The film concludes with suggestions on how individuals can help mitigate the impacts of climate change.
