covers four aspects of the debate: health, economics, environmental effects, and ethics. In every area, she argues that a meat-based diet is better.

And click here to watch some guy – I don’t know who – ranting on about why vegans kill way more animals than do meat eaters. He’s a hunter. I doubt that he’s a radical feminist, but I do get the feeling that he read Keith’s book. In any case, I’m not recommending this video to persuade you of his argument. I just thought the presentation was funny.
