Here' s a review by vegetarian Mark Hand, who still eschewed "meat" even after reading the book. Some might argue that Keith has simply become an advocate of “happy meat”—local, grass-fed, sustainably produced, and humanely raised meat. Vegetarianism was the obvious path, with veganism the high road alongside it.

In general, “photogenic” pretty much sums up the San Vito experience. But enough of that other stuff, because as those of us with binos know, the real meat and potatoes or uncommonly good soy-based stuff or truffle topped pizza are the birds. My view from the Casa Botania.

Sneezing, runny nose, headache, even fever: these are the things that we human beings experience when we have a cold.

Is it true that the least I can do is support the engineering of animals who experience less unpleasantness than they would have had they not been engineered that way? And of course, the reality that all of this involves using sentient nonhumans when that's unnecessary isn't even considered. That action is to opt out and go vegan.

Of course, as a result, "ethical meat" becomes an option unless one realizes that killing when you don't need to is killing when you don't need to, no matter if it occurs in a slaughterhouse or in a mobile slaughter operation or in a backyard. We all know junk-food vegans and vegans who eat "faux meat" products every day.

You get the idea at YouTube but the experience is vastly different on a great television.

In the first case, there is no way around the suggestion, which many people appear to believe, that animal experience is so lacking in intensity that the pains of animals are overridden by the pleasures experienced by human beings.

Second, if the people who believe this would eat all of their "meat" unseasoned and raw, after having killed the source animal with their bare hands and ripped open the carcass with nothing but said hands and some teeth, I'd feel like maybe their argument was at least sincere.

Not only do they have vegan entrees, but they will substitute tofu for any meat in any dish, so you can eat just about anything on the menu!

The topic was the concept of humans as predators, or hunters, or really, eaters of meat, and I was discussing the many ways in which people misconceived this notion. This allowed them to carry out experiments such as giving some bones to the hyenas to see what they would look like after being munched on for a while.
