Vegetarians have argued at great length that meat-eating is wrong. Even so, the vast majority of people continue to eat meat, and even most vegetarians eventually give up on their diets. Does this prove these people must be morally corrupt?
In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat-and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle, in what ways, and to whatextents, and hence people can decline to take up this particular form of activism without doing anything wrong.
Key Features
First book-length defense of meat-eating written for a popular audience
Punchy, accessible introduction to the multifaceted debate over the ethics of eating meat
Includes pioneering new examinations of humane labeling practices
Shows why appeals to universalized patterns of behavior can't vindicate vegetarians' claims that there's a duty to avoid meat
Develops a novel theory of ethical activism with potential applications to a wide range of other issues

"This is a fantastic volume. Shahar offers an accessible, compelling, and compact defense of the permissibility of eating meat-it's perfect for the classroom. At the same time, he's written a book that's full of material that pushes this important conversation forward. (His discussion of the Stag Hunt alone is worth the sticker price.) Whoever you are and whatever you make of his conclusions, Shahar's arguments are worth careful consideration."
Bob Fischer, Texas State University
"Anyone asking themselves whether they should become a vegetarian will find this book to be an invaluable resource. For the difficult to balance criteria of accessibility and comprehensiveness, Why It's Okay to Eat Meat is unsurpassed. To Shahar's credit, the issues are given such a balanced treatment that some readers will surely reach the opposite conclusion to the one expressed in the title."
Paul B. Thompson, Michigan State University
"In the course of presenting state-of-the-art arguments that it's OK to eat meat, Shahar succeeds in getting us to focus on the bigger picture. What actions and attitudes actually help us advance justice and wellbeing? Which are just virtue-signaling sideshows? Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike owe it to us all to take these challenging questions seriously."
