Don't Eat Anything With a Face

from Open to Debate Hosted by Open to Debate

More Americans are moving away from eating meat toward a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. But is continuing to eat animals a personal choice—or an ethical failure? Those favoring a plant-based lifestyle argue that eating animals is morally indefensible when plant-based alternatives can provide the same nutrition without pain. But meat lovers argue there’s more to eating meat than seems obvious and caution against vilifying meat consumption. Now, we debate this motion: Don’t Eat Anything With A Face. Arguing Yes: Neal Barnard, Clinical Researcher, Author of "21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart" Gene Baur, President and Co-Founder of the Farm Sanctuary Arguing No: Chris Masterjohn, Nutritional Sciences Researcher; Blogger at The Daily Lipid Joel Salatin, Farmer & Author Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.
