There's only one thing you need to know about Whole Foods Market : It sells animal products, including meat. All the other stuff—organic foods, locally grown fruits and vegetables, environmentally friendly bags—is about status. Isn't it ironic that old hippies, who rejected the "establishment," have become status-seekers? The only difference between them and the "establishment" they once deplored is that they find status in different places.

Hey Keith, I wanted to drop you a line on this because I thought it would be up your alley. The animal advocacy group Compassion Over Killing has created a new website to bring attention to the fact that Morningstar Farms continues to use "battery eggs" from caged birds in their products. Here is the link. The site specifically names Gardenburger as a company that does not used caged chickens to get the eggs for their products and links to Gardenburger's statement on the practice.

A column entitled "Ag Industry Threatened by Animal Rights" appeared in today's High Plains/Midwest Ag Journal [ HPMAJ ]. The column, which you can read here , is a call to arms to factory farmers to fight back against those individuals and organizations working to protect farm animals from the abuses inherent in factory farms. Recent victories by animal protection advocates have an increasing number of pro-factory-farming lobbyists worried about the future of animal agriculture.

Here is the website of Stephen H. Webb, who is professor of religion and philosophy at Wabash College. Here are some of Dr Webb's essays on animals and vegetarianism. I continue to be astounded by the assumption that concern for animals is a secular, progressive cause. There are many atheists and progressives who don't care a whit about animals. There are many theists and conservatives (such as Dr Webb) who care a great deal about animals.

Dear Keith, Hope you are well—I enjoyed reading "Simplifying the Case for Vegetarianism"—thanks again. I also wanted to say that I immediately thought of the question you signed off with on your recent post entitled " Crates " after reading this today. The article and the comments that accompany it throw up many other interesting points in their own right; not least relating to the many creative, convenient myths that people create to justify their flesh-eating habits.

Hello, We've recently launched a new website, the PB&J Campaign. It takes a slightly different take on vegetarian advocacy—trying to quantify the effects of single meal decisions to protect the environment and improve animal welfare. At this point we're emailing websites and blogs that have related themes, our goal being to get the word out that the site exists.
