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. You might want to refer to omnivores as "corpse munchers." But I'm not referring to them. It makes no sense!

Either the vegetarian argues on utilitarian premises, or he tries to supplement or replace his utilitarianism with some plausible non-utilitarian principles implying the wrongfulness of rearing and killing animals for food. Either the vegetarian argues on utilitarian grounds or the vegetarian argues on nonutilitarian grounds.

One of the reasons I do this is to see what others are saying about veganism (both good and bad), vegan food, their vegan friends and family members, and of course, about going vegan (I've already seen a handful of #in2010 references to going vegan).

You know those jokes that you get a minute later that are referred to as joke grenades? I do know people who became vegan (also after watching " Earthlings ") who are now vegetarians, pescetarians and run-of-the-mill omnivores. Someone who goes from vegan to vegetarian to eating cows isn't really in a position to judge anyone.

Herzog, unsurprisingly, uses “it” to refer to animals, eats and wears them, and “[does] not feel particularly guilty about it” (P.S., He watched cockfighting and killed and skinned animals, but won’t eat veal. But I’m merely making his point. The campaign to moralize meat has largely been a failure.

If capacity for pain were the only feature of persons which entitled them to our consideration, then vegetarians would be right in attacking the person/animal distinction. Thus the ethics proposed here is anthropocentric (or person-centred) though only mildly so. But I see no reason to admit this premise.
