The Importance of Vegetarianism

Jeff McMunn: Eating animals seems to most people to be in their interests because they like it. Most people don't confront the arguments for vegetarianism and even those people who do hear the arguments find their own practices reinforced by the behavior of all those around them. Jeff McMunn: How could it be wrong when everybody is doing it? Well I think that's the way that southerners thought in the first half of the 19th century about slavery. They constructed a lot of feeble rationalizations but everybody else was doing it.
