Are we pinning people down and force-feeding them vegan burritos?

Two varieties of moral vegetarianism can be distinguished: lactovo moral vegetarianism and vegan moral vegetarianism. Lactovo and vegan moral vegetarianism can be subdivided into what might be called new and old or traditional moral vegetarianism. Each argument has an audience.
