'Peace begins on our plates' letter applauded

How can we expect peace on Earth when we inflict such a holocaust on 64 billion land animals?

Editor: I wish to congratulate you on publishing “Peace begins on our plates” (letters, Dec. 20).  Amidst all the Christmas frenzy and well-wishing, this article shone out like the star over Bethlehem, quietly asking us to examine the roots of our violence.

As Patricia Tallman says, how can we expect peace on Earth when we inflict such holocaust on 64 billion land animals and between one and two billion sea animals a year, when we consume meat and dairy?
