- Is it okay to eat one hamburger per year? Is it acceptable to eat a hamburger made from a ‘happy cow’? In this interview with Katrien Devolder (philosophy, Oxford), Peter Singer (Princeton, Melbourne) tackles the best objections to vegetarianism
around 70% of people think they're buying "ethical" animal products, while over 95% of animal products come from factory farm situations. just leave animals alone. it's all marketing, they will say whatever they have to to get you to buy the carnage.
The extent to which Men would go to justify their burger
Incredibly compelling argument. I've tried to find arguments on the other side this strong and they simply do not exist.
Ethical, financial, environmental, nutritional, medical, logical.....pick your favorite.
The point is, if literally everyone was vegan then there wouldn't be any animal products. If enough people were vegan, there would be significantly less animal products. If there's very little people to buy then, of course, the production would decrease.
The choice to not eat meat doesn't necessarily have to be grounded in activism. I still have to live with myself, my conscience and my relationship with animals.
The interviewer is Katrien Devolder, a philosophy research fellow working at the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics. Though it'd be important or interesting for viewers to know.
Calm, empathic common sense.
I like the format of this interview. It's good to challenge our beliefs with the best counter arguments.
I agree with everything he says except for providing lions with road kill rather than them preying on other creatures. That is a ridiculous idea, how can someone so educated on the subject even suggest disrupting an ecosystem and natural laws that have been around since the beginning of the planet?
I interviewed Dr. Singer in 2003. He was such an articulate, honest, and fair guest. He's refined some beliefs and arguments since then and I am happy that he has. I wasn't vegan then, but I am now going into my 7th year. Good interview.
straight answers to straight questions, thank you Prof Singer!
Questions with timestamps
I have worked for years on a intensive pig farm
Is this Singer's personal office? As a somewhat young man, it is astounding to me how well-read some people are and how much knowledge they must possess.
Peter singer very calm, collected and great discussion between these 2 individuals
Professor Singer is my hero, on this topic that is. Amazing ideas.
This man makes so much sense! Hard to argue with any of that. Nicely conducted interview. Thumbs up!
Clarity and honesty is so refreshing. Thankyou Prof 🙏
the interviewer is also great, asking some killer questions
