Every time we consume animal products…
“[I]t is important to make clear to anyone who is concerned about this issue that anything short of veganism represents their placing their pleasure over the life and suffering of nonhumans that they are continuing to eat. We should never ‘approve’ the eating of any animal products under any circumstances. We should always clearly and unequivocally reject Singer’s view that to be a consistent vegan is ‘fanatical’ or that we may have an obligation not to eat vegan if to do so will cause others to react by saying, ‘Oh my god, these vegans…”

It is only our arrogance…
“The ‘happy meat’ movement is intended to make the public feel more comfortable about animal exploitation and to ensure that social discussion about animal ethics remains focused away from the relevant question—why are we eating animals in the first place given that it is not necessary for human health, is an ecological disaster, and, most importantly, results in our imposing suffering and death on sentient nonhumans?”

There is nothing more ‘elitist’…
“Animal exploitation is so deeply embedded in our society, culture, and history that we are not used to viewing it as on the same level as other forms of discrimination. If anything is ever to change, we are going to have to *think* our way out of this mess and be clear we cannot justify the use of animals—however ‘humane’ our treatment may be. As long as we are not recoiling from characterizing animal corpses and animal products as a ‘luxury,’ or accepting that we do not have to be vegan when we find it ‘very difficult, very inconvenient,’ we have not even started the process.”
