Is it wrong to buy the products of this industry?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, two college students - a meat-eater and an ethical vegetarian - discuss this question in a series of dialogues conducted over five days. Issues covered include: how intelligence affects the badness of pain, whether consumers are responsible for the practices of the industry, how individual choices affect an industry, whether farm animals are better off living on factory farms than not existing at all, whether meat-eating is natural, whether morality protects those who cannot understand morality, whether morality protects those who are not members of society, whether humans alone possess souls, whether different creatures have different degrees of consciousness, why extreme animal welfare positions \"sound crazy,\" and the role of empathy in moral judgment. The two go on to discuss the vegan life, why people who accept the arguments often fail to change their behavior, and how vegans should interact with non-vegans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e also covers many new topics, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSatisfying nutritional needs with plant-based foods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe overall health effects of vegetarian diets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe consumer costs of a plant-based diet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSynthetic meat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFood deserts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChristian-inspired arguments for and against veganism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProgressive-inspired arguments for and against veganism\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA new appendix offers readers delicious vegan recipes, including ones for Carrot Ginger Soup, Avocado Toast, Compassionate Chili, and The Smoothie of the Gods.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThoroughly reviews the common arguments on both sides of the debate\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDialogue format provides the most engaging way of introducing the issues\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten in clear, conversational prose for a popular audience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers new insights into the psychology of our dietary choices and our responsibility for influencing others\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNew in this edition, several easy and delicious vegan recipes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Huemer \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Philosophy at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
