Why campassionate carnivorism just might work better than going vegetarian
Posted May 07, 2008
Responses to this thread:
amanda: I'm not sure how to feel about the whole "compassionate" carnivorism movement. But I certainly don't agree that it's better than being vegetarian. If people need to eat humanely raised meat (as opposed to not eating meat at all) in order for such farms to exist (a goodness certainly) then there's clearly too many people not eating humanely for it to ultimately make a huge difference in American industrial farming practices.

todd: yeah, i'm with amanda here. the macroecological and macroeconomic arguments against participating in the meat industry are compelling. no small-scale, individual examples can overwhelm the evidence that the meat industry is bad for all of us.

smckenzie23: Yeah, I keep wanting to find a source of meat that is relatively low impact on climate change, and other than sustainably harvested wild seafood and actually hunting for you own meat in well managed wild populations, it doesn't exist.
