AlterNet -- So You're an Environmentalist; Why Are You Still Eating Meat?

This article, from E Magazine and reprinted on AlterNet.org posits that because meat-eating wrecks the environment, brutalizes animals, exacerbates poverty and endangers human health, no good environmentalist can justify a diet that includes meat. If you agree with this premise, you'll find lots of supporting information. If you disagree, you'll find an equal number of statements to argue with. No word on whether the no-meat litmus test should also be extended to leather footwear and dairy products.
