TIME MAGAZINE ON VEGETARIANISM

The cover story of the current Time Magazine asks " Should You Be a

Vegetarian? " The article is largely devoted to the demographics of

vegetarians and those who reject certain types of animal products,

and the nutritional needs of different populations. The Center for

Science in the Public Interest counters anti-vegetarian warnings by

the meat industry, and a Cornell University ecologist points out the

environmental problems of animal agriculture. Anthropological

assertions are made in support of an omnivorous diet, and an animal

scientists theorizes that a vegan diet actually causes more animal

deaths than would one including beef, lamb and dairy products

obtained from extensive production systems. The online edition

includes a sidebar about vegan advocacy.
