The documentary Meat the Truth is the first major project undertaken by the Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation. Meat the Truth is a high-profile documentary, presented by Marianne Thieme (leader of the Party for the Animals), which forms an addendum to earlier films that have been made about climate change. Although such films have convincingly succeeded in drawing public attention to the issue of global warming, they have repeatedly ignored one of the most important causes of climate change, namely: intensive livestock production. Meat the Truth has drawn attention to this by demonstrating that livestock farming generates more greenhouse gas emissions worldwide than all cars, lorries, trains, boats and planes added together.

Translation by Nisha Coleman More than 75 guests gathered to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Montreal Vegetarian Association on Friday August 20th in the Crudessence loft. The evening was MC'd by Melissa Galianos, president of the Montreal World Vegan Day Fashion Show, and the music provided by Montreal artist Roses (Katie Sevigny). Toronto nutritionist Jae Steele accepted our invitation and all the founding members of the Montreal Vegetarian Association were there for this beautiful rite of passage. MC2 communications was there to film and to observe vegetarians in their natural environment. The cake, created by Marie-Geneviève Lamothe from Bistro Chez Soi, was a delight for all.
