New York Time's Op Ed on Animal Rights!

In this Sunday's paper I saw a really interesting op ed piece about animal rights. I found it here online so all of you can read it, click here.

For those of you too lazy to read it (which I understand!), the article talked about how meat-eaters can eat meat without feeling guilty. The author claims that meat-eaters, by eating organic of free-range meat, forget about their guilt because they are more focused on how healthy they are being. They overlook the fact that they are eating a dead animal. He also references the Bible and how it almost supports eating meat (ironic since Jesus preached equality). Read the article though! It does a much better job explaining than I could ever do!

I hope this doesn't turn you meat-eaters away, but it is nice to see a vegan stand-point shown in an international newspaper at Thanksgiving (the most meat-eater -ish holiday that there is). I think he gives a fair argument with ample support.
