A third of a century ago, when the modern animal-liberation movement was in its infancy, Martin published an essay entitled “A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism,” Reason Papers (fall 1976): 13-43. I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. At no point will we speculate about Martin’s motives.

Yesterday's lessons learned were primarily about blogging. From the vegan equals vegetarian discussion, to the nonviolence does or doesn't include property damage, to certain abolitionists deciding that they are in fact the only real abolitionists, it has gotten comical. particularly in the name of a blog, as that's part of branding.

Every day, some people switch from meat-based diets to vegetarian diets. Consider, e.g., the traditional low animal-protein diets in rural China and the vegetarian diets of 15 million Jains.) At the same time, try a vegetarian diet for a month. While by no means optimistic, I'm certainly less pessimistic than Ausubel.

This post is inspired by a thought-provoking piece on the Provoked blog (clearly a good name for a blog!) Is a vegan's efforts at advocacy worth more than a vegetarian's or even a meat eater's if they happen to agree on the same issue? Or the vegetarian who still uses dairy?

I was going to change Animal Person to Vegan Atheist 40+ Parenting and come back to blogging. Doesn't have a ring to it at all, but a young man at Whole Foods yesterday called himself an "animal person" while ordering a roast beef wrap and I thought: Note to self-must change blog name if going to resume blogging.

One manager told PETA Eats that most people prefer the vegetarian lettuce wraps over those with chicken. M: (long, long pause) So the spring rolls, the vegetarian lettuce wraps and the Ma Pa Tofu I've been eating for years are not vegan? Chang's is largely due to the number of requests that management receives for meatless cuisine.
