To Adam, Steve and others of different views, it would be interesting to see where your sources are coming from on this debate of( veganism/ reduction of meat sources/ evolution context ect.) It would give us all some new prespective in this debate of vegatariansim and EE.
There seems to be many varying facts out there.
I think we are in agreement. It is a known fact to us all, that reducing meat intake would certainly have some impact, on the world in a positive aspect. I think we may disagree as to what extent or how should this be done. However, the bigger problem with all this is -- developing some criterion, for an environmental ethic coming from a perspective, vegatarianism and EE. I
seriously question whether it is possible.
The problems I see, are from a social world view,
who do we limit, is this right to tell others what
to eat, how to live. I realize no one on the list
is saying we should all turn into vegans. But realistcly
what plausible solid arguments could be derived from an ethical perspective. If we even consider these points
in fact, are we not talking a utilitariasm type
view?
Have a good one
