> The basic claim, to put it crudely at first, is that eating meat is morally good primarily because it benefits animals. What is the definition benefit here? Would not being able to live freely, freely choose your food, choose your mate, choose (or chosen by nature) when you die, is benefit? I'm usually right leaning, but in the issue of the environment, like clean energy and the meat industry, the wood industry, I'm left leaning. Still not vegan yet though. Really hard to be vegan. but overall I enjoyed the article.
