Suitable for gr. 7-12. A wide range of viewpoints about vegetarianism covering four main topics: Is Vegetarianism Healthy?; Is Vegetarianism Morally Superior to a Meat Diet?; Is Vegetarianism More Environmentally Sustainable?; and What is the Future for Vegetarianism? Pro and con essays are presented for each topic. They range from somewhat scholarly to religious to practically a rant. Some information is given about each of the authors, but it is not made clear which are experts in the field and which are just interested writers. A list of organizations to contact is included as well as an extensive bibliography. The table of contents lists the title of each essay along with a brief abstract.
Minor cautions: a few typos including the phrase “in plain site”. Also use of the word “shitty” in an essay by an author described as “a comedian, writer and journalist”.
