Jean asked:

Vegetarian scholars say that we can now live free of meat. Today, there are many people (in the
United Kingdom, about four million vegetarians, demi-vegetarians and vegans) who do so and live a
long time and well. If this is true, then does eating animals constitute what Professor Stephen Clark
calls "empty gluttony"? (The Moral Status of Animalsp.83).

============

We don't need scholars to tell that us that don't need meat. It's not an academic issue. All eating is
glutinous when it exceeds fuelling and nutritional requirements. Today our nutritional requirements
can be met by dietary supplements and we don't need meat.
