I would recommend a book titled :

Food for the Sprite
Vegetarianism and the World Religions

By Steven Rosen

ISBN 0-89647-021-0

Just one verse there are many in the Vedas but this one is to the point:

"Having well considered the origin of flesh-foods;
and the cruelty
of fettering and slaying corporeal beings;
let man entirely abstain
from eating flesh"

- Manusmriti 5:49
