Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Vegetarians have argued at great length that meat-eating is wrong. Even so the vast majority of people continue to eat meat and even most vegetarians eventually give up on their diets. Does this prove these people must be morally corrupt? In Why It’s OK to Eat Meat Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it’s entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the fancy offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar’s examination forcefully echoes vegetarians’ concerns about the meat industry’s impacts on animals workers the environment and public health. However he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world’s problems to tackle in what ways and to what extents and hence people can decline to take up this particular form of activism without doing anything wrong. Key Features First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience Punchy accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can’t vindicate vegetarians’ claims that there’s a duty to avoid meat Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues | Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Raw Veganism The Philosophy of The Human Diet

Raw Veganism The Philosophy of The Human Diet

Human beings are getting fatter and sicker. As we question what we eat and why we eat it this book argues that living well involves consuming a raw vegan diet. With eating healthfully and eating ethically being simpler said than done this book argues that the best solution to health environmental and ethical problems concerning animals is raw veganism—the human diet. The human diet is what humans are naturally designed to eat and that is a raw vegan diet of fruit tender leafy greens and occasionally nuts and seeds. While veganism raises challenging questions over the ethics of consuming animal products while also considering the environmental impact of the agriculture industry raw veganism goes a step further and argues that consuming cooked food is also detrimental to our health and the environment. Cooking foods allows us to eat food that is not otherwise fit for human consumption and in an age that promotes eating foods in ‘moderation’ and having ‘balanced’ diets this raises the question of why we are eating foods that should only be consumed in moderation at all as moderation clearly implies they aren’t good for us. In addition from an environmental perspective the use of stoves ovens and microwaves for cooking contributes significantly to energy consumption and cooking in general generates excessive waste of food and resources. Thus this book maintains that living well and living a noble life that is good physical and moral health requires consuming a raw vegan diet. Exploring the scientific and philosophical aspects of raw veganism this novel book is essential reading for all interested in promoting ethical healthful and sustainable diets. | Raw Veganism The Philosophy of The Human Diet

The Vegan Evolution Transforming Diets and Agriculture

The Vegan Evolution Transforming Diets and Agriculture

Arguing for a vegan economy this book explains how we can and should alter our eating habits away from meat and dairy through sociocultural evolution. Using the latest research and ideas about the cultural ecology of food this book makes the case that through biological and especially cultural evolution the human diet can gravitate away from farmed meat and dairy products. The thrust of the writing demonstrates that because humans are a cultural species and since we are evolving more culturally than biologically it stands to reason for health and environmental reasons that we develop a vegan economy. The book shows that for many good reasons we don’t need a diet of meat and dairy and a call is made to legislative leaders policy makers and educators to shift away from animal farming and inform people about the advantages of a vegan culture. The bottom line is that we have to start thinking collectively about smarter ways of growing and processing plant foods not farming animals as food to generate good consequences for health the environment and therefore animals. This is an attainable and worthy goal given the mental and physical plasticity of humans through cooperative cultural evolution. This book is essential reading for all interested in veganism whether for ethical environmental or health reasons and those studying the human diet from a range of disciplines including cultural evolution food ecology animal ethics food and nutrition and evolutionary studies. | The Vegan Evolution Transforming Diets and Agriculture
