New poll for - question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Just to be sure I understand, if I

became a vegetarian due to my belief

in animal rights, that would be for

Ethical Reasons. Right?

 

I was a tiny bit confused by Ecological

Reasons. I certainly would be against

eating animals that were endangered

even if I didn't believe in animal

rights. Of course there is also the

argument that it takes less land to

grow plant products for food for humans

than it takes to grow plants for animals

and raise them for food for humans.

Is that under Ecological Reasons? Just

trying to figure it out.

 

Thanks,

 

Gary

In response to Gary's query and to show others the inner recesses of my

cluttered mind

 

" Of course there is also the

than it takes to grow plants for animals

and raise them for food for humans.

That is how I define ecological. currently reading Diet for a Small Planet

and to me that speaks of the ecological reasons. To me the ethical is the

aversion to killing animals for food. Of course we would probably feel an

element of all these. I am looking for the primary reason.

 

Best regards and I can't wait to make that minestrone soup for watching

football this weekend.
