Professor Matthew Halteman on Ethics, Animals, and Awe
Document Type

Abstract
According to Oxford researcher Joseph Poore, going vegan is “the single biggest way” to reduce our environmental impact on Earth. Yet for many, the journey begins not with data, but with a gut-level realization about compassion, identity, and joy. That’s exactly what came to life in a powerful and heart-opening conversation between host Cheryl Moss and Professor Matthew Halteman on the Better Life for Animals Podcast. A philosopher at Calvin University and author of Hungry Beautiful Animals: The Joyful Case for Going Vegan, Halteman shared how awe, humor, and hope—not guilt—can transform hearts and eating habits.
