There has to be something I can do to reduce all of the suffering of the animals we use as food, I thought. Now, I don't want to do anything extreme, like go vegan. Veganism is too fringe for me, and I'm pretty sure you have to be a Communist, or at least a Socialist, to be a vegan. I call it VBM: Vegan Between Meals.

Hal Herzog’s “ Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat ” (Harper 2011), though fascinating, is ultimately depressing for vegans and animal rights activists.

Animals raised for food suffer miserably. After time in the Marines, I veered strongly away from eating creatures, thinking of their suffering. My doctor says my tremendous health and strength are due to my being a vegan. Hens in all forms of egg production endure an equally cruel execution once their profitability has declined.
