I know some people won't read this piece simply because Ezra Klein is not vegan or even vegetarian, but I think he makes some excellent points. It's not about cooking "vegetarian," but cooking food you like that doesn't have meat. It's not about cooking "vegetarian," but cooking food you like that doesn't have meat.

But I must admit, I enjoyed my bottle with a meal that required no butchery whatsoever, either by bird or man – a nice vegetarian mushroom ragù with pasta. Chianti classico is reckoned to be an ideal partner for Florentine steak, but it’s also just a great food-friendly wine in general. Good birding and happy drinking!

Vegetarianism is overdetermined. If all you care about is animals, you should be a vegetarian. If all you care about is the natural environment, you should be a vegetarian. If all you care about is yourself , you should be a vegetarian. If all you care about is human beings, you should be a vegetarian.

This man argues that vegetarianism is immoral. Vegetarianism is based on the principle that animals matter, morally. Why is it immoral? Because it is "based. on the principle that animals are morally equivalent to humans." It says nothing about whether animals are "morally equivalent" to humans (whatever that means).

The Factual table I posted yesterday annoyed me a bit, and here's why: the categories "vegan," "vegetarian," and "vegan-friendly." Whether or not vegetarians equate that fact with "friendly" is a different story--it's the people at the establishment who think they're being "friendly." Vegan: Got it. Which brings me to.

All I know is that the majority of vegetarians, ex-vegetarians, animal rights supporters, animal rescuers, animal shelter volunteers, and feral cat colony stewards that I know are women. It's an intriguing question that would probably get quite a response at any dinner party. Frankly, I don't know. Not all, but the majority.

PETA put up a billboard in Florida that says "Save the Whales, Lose the Blubber: Go Vegetarian". If they want to play up the health aspects or weight loss aspects of vegetarianism, that's fine.

Vegetarians and vegans know that you get protein from vegetables. I have yet to see an episode featuring vegetarian cooking. Vegetarians are far more predominant than people who go to snooty French restaurants. First of all, it highlights the deficiencies of today's chefs' training. That's not true. That is total misinformation.

A third of a century ago, when the modern animal-liberation movement was in its infancy, Martin published an essay entitled “A Critique of Moral Vegetarianism,” Reason Papers (fall 1976): 13-43. I suspect that many readers of this blog are Christians but not vegetarians. The contrast would be, for example, “health vegetarianism.”

The most constructive part of the book (and possibly the most shocking to those who are only peripherally familiar with the vegetarian movement and who might therefore expect radicalism) is the authors' discussion of tolerance in all activities. They even go so far as to insist that it can be a good thing for vegetarians to date meat-eaters!

There are two approaches a vegetarian might take in arguing that rearing and killing animals for food is morally offensive. A vegetarian of the first sort has no grounds for objecting to the eating of animals—molluscs for example—too rudimentary in their development to feel pain. Or he could object to the killing itself.
