And we should listen to him why?

Peter Singer is just too lazy to be vegan…

Q: How flexible are you? In The Way We Eat you describe, what was it—the “Paris indulgence”?

A: Ah, yes, the “Paris exception.” I’m probably more flexible than that, in that it doesn’t have to be Paris. But also less flexible, because that guy was prepared to eat meat when in a gourmet restaurant in Paris. I’m not going to do that—I can’t imagine enjoying it, anyway. When I’m shopping for myself, it will be vegan. But when I’m traveling and it’s hard to get vegan food in some places or whatever, I’ll be vegetarian. I won’t eat eggs if they’re not free-range, but if they’re free-range, I will. I won’t order a dish that is full of cheese, but I won’t worry about, say, whether an Indian vegetable curry was cooked with ghee.

Veganism has to be the moral baseline of our movement. It is living abolition in your daily life. If he’s too lazy to do that, I understand now why he’s so in favor of “humane” meat.
