I second Jim O's recommendation of the Gary Taubes book.
I really, really hope that Live Earth is not going to jump fully onto the vegan or vegetarian bandwagon -- especially the vegan -- or, if they do, that they stick with the environmental arguments, and not try to convince people on the angle that it is for the sake of our health. YMMV on health, but when an agenda is covered by some stated concern for my health, it's just as disingenuous whether it's coming from PETA or someone else.
