Issues that Concern You

This volume provides an in-depth understanding of the topic of vegetarianism by presenting multiple sides to several concepts. After an overview of vegetarianism, readers will evaluate several debates, including whether humans are natural vegetarians, whether a plant-based diet is healthier, whether there is a moral justification for eating animals, and whether vegetarianism is bad for the environment. An essay by Brittany Estes-Garcia helps make the topic personal, by providing a description of the experience of being a vegan and vegetarian in high school.
