When the Hare Krishna movement appeared in the West to teach about a life in accordance with the lows of God and therefore protection of the cow and vegetarian diet it was derided and considered religious fanaticism.

Here is the link to the original article entitled: “Can People Have Meat and a Planet, Too?” with hundreds of comments:

and the same one commented by the Digg’s community
