Amercian Humanist Association Board Member Jason Torpy on Veganism

Jason Torpy's editorial on the AHA homepage will sound a bit strong for people who consider themselves both omnivores and humanists, but he reasonably makes the argument that people should be the, 'best humans that we can be,'  and even if going vegan is not possible, that humanist should be, 'aspiring vegans.'  Is he being judgmental?  Yes.  Is he right? Possibly.  But no matter whether you agree with him or not, consider checking out his article for yourself here:  http://www.americanhumanist.org/HNN/details/2011-03-why-vegan-priorities-are-humanist-priorities  To read Lindsay Beyerstein's critique running under the headline, "Humanist Vegan Screed is Tripe," you can read it here: http://bigthink.com/ideas/31666
