Now, PETA has sort of an update of ‘Meet Your Meat’, titled ‘Glass Walls’ and narrated by Paul McCartney, a long-time veg who has recently been promoting Meat Free Mondays.

The title ‘Glass Walls’ is from a McCartney quote, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian”. Glass Walls extends Meat Your Meat buy adding such topics as fishes and the environment. View and download Glass Wall (also available in 3D), Meet Your Meat and other videos.

The philosophy/mission of Vegan World Radio,  through production of its weekly radio broadcasts and use of other social media (including Facebook and Twitter), is to encourage, educate, and inspire the world to adopt animal-free lifestyles, in particular, to adopt and embrace plant-based/vegan diets. VWR aims to provide the most varied, interesting, innovative, and timely programming and educational content possible from week to week. Their programmes have ranged over a plethora of plant-based-related topics, and one of the key topics is the strong connection between animal agriculture and the exacerbation of the world hunger epidemic.
