Vegetarianism: A Shared Ideal for Humanity - Interview with Chief Rabbi David Rosen – Part 2 of 2

Vegetarianism is a vehicle for universal peace for all humanity and also a reflection of universal peace. So there should be moral obligations in terms of our responsibilities towards other human beings, to lead a diet that does not waste in such a terrible way. Probably the greatest damage to our environment is done through livestock through methane gas, through destruction of rainforests. Therefore, to save our planet is to change our diet away from meat eating and to observe a healthy vegetarian diet. That is the stage upon which the greatest drama ever facing humanity is now being played out. Global warming respects no boundaries.
