The following is an excerpt from the World Peace Diet by Will Tuttle.

Most of us don’t think of our culture as being a herding culture. Looking around, we see mainly cars, roads, suburbs, cities, and factories, and while there are enormous fields of grain, and cattle grazing in the countryside, we may not realize that almost all of the grain is grown as livestock feed, and that most of the untold billions of birds, mammals, and fish we consume are confined out of sight in enormous concentration camps called factory farms. Though it is not as obvious to us today as it was to our forebears a few thousand years ago, our culture is, like theirs, essentially a herding culture, organized around owning and commodifying animals and eating them.

    from the about page on the linked website

    There are many people who have done this in various ways expressing certain aspects of information from a certain perspective to add to an overall understanding. David Icke, Jordan Maxwell, Alex Jones, Gandhi, Buddha, and anyone else you want to think of that has become a popular name by sharing what they had understood.

    this is cult shit, not surprising for white supremacist veganism

      That website merely published an excerpt. The author of the book has nothing to do with that.

        point still stands, the book is garbage that promotes anti-indigenous propaganda and racist depictions of herding cultures

          Could you give an example? Since herding cultures themselves are inherently racist (speciesist), merely speaking out against them hardly constitutes racism.
