You’re Probably a Vegan in Waiting

Abstract
If becoming a vegan sounds like a joyless task — like you’d have to give up too much or that you’d have to transform into an entirely different person — animal ethics professor Matt Halteman has some advice. In his book “Hungry, Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan,” Halteman makes the case that going vegan is a joyful endeavor. In his view, leaving animal products behind provides the opportunity to “be the change we want to see in the world.” In this time of climate chaos and political upheaval, of worldwide human and animal suffering (when, some argue, “the cruelty is the point”), changing what we eat can be a slyly powerful tool of resistance.
