This film is regarded as a sequel to "An Inconvenient Truth," as Al Gore's film, while explaining the issues caused by global warming, does not mention the leading culprit behind it—animal agriculture. 　　The film reveals the impact of animal agriculture and dairy on global warming, exceeding that of all transportation emissions combined. Well-known Dutch actors, writers, and politicians appear in the film to share their views on vegetarianism. It also cites scientific evidence provided by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) regarding the significant impact of animal agriculture on climate and the environment. 　　Some facts mentioned in the film include: 　　* Each cow emits as much carbon dioxide in a year as a car does after driving 70,000 kilometers. 　　* A vegetarian driving a Hummer is more environmentally friendly than a meat-eater riding a bicycle. 　　* If all Dutch people abstain from meat for one day a week, it would achieve the Netherlands government's goal for annual carbon emission reductions per household. 　　* Approximately 400 million hectares of soybeans grown in South America are for cattle feed; if grown for human consumption, only 25 million hectares would suffice to meet global needs. 　　Scientists from Vrije University in Amsterdam provided expertise during the filming process. At the end of the film, viewers are given suggestions on how they can help mitigate the impact of climate change. 　　Days of the week without meat consumption 　　Annual reduction in carbon emissions (million tons) 　　If all Americans had… days without meat each week, 　　then… Equivalent to… 　　1 day 99.6 If all Americans had 1 day without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 99.6 million tons, equivalent to the emissions of 19.2 million cars. 　　2 days 199.2 If all Americans had 2 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 199.2 million tons, the equivalent effect of replacing all household appliances with energy-efficient ones. 　　3 days 298.6 If all Americans had 3 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 298.6 million tons, exceeding the emissions of all Toyota Prius cars in the U.S. 　　4 days 398.4 If all Americans had 4 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 398.4 million tons, equivalent to all domestic electric, gasoline, fuel, oil, and kerosene consumption. 　　5 days 498 If all Americans had 5 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 498 million tons, equivalent to planting 1.3 billion trees aged 10 years. 　　6 days 597.6 If all Americans had 6 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 597.6 million tons, equivalent to the emissions for all household electricity in the U.S. 　　7 days 697.2 If all Americans had 7 days without meat each week, annual greenhouse gas emissions would decrease by 697.2 million tons.
