“I Am A Vegetarian”: Reflections On A Way Of Being, Kenneth J. Shapiro
“I Am A Vegetarian”: Reflections On A Way Of Being, Kenneth J. Shapiro
Kenneth J. Shapiro, PhD
Employing a qualitative method adapted from phenomenological psychology, the paper presents a socio-psychological portrait of a vegetarian. Descriptives are a product of the author’s reflection on (dialogue with) empirical findings and published personal accounts, interviews, and case studies. The paper provides evidence for the hypothesis that vegetarianism is a way of being. This way of experiencing and living in the world is associated with particular forms of relationship to self, to other animals and nature, and to other people. The achievement of this way of being, particularly in the interpersonal sphere, comprises an initial, a transitional, and a crystallizing phase …
A Queer Vegan Manifesto, Rasmus R. Simonsen
A Queer Vegan Manifesto, Rasmus R. Simonsen
Rasmus R Simonsen, PhD
What does it mean for a person to declare her or his veganism to the world? How does the transition from one diet to another impact one’s sense of self? Veganism challenges the foundational character of how we “act out” our selves—not least of all in the context of sexuality and gender. In my paper, I am thus interested in the potential of veganism to disrupt the “natural” bond between gender formations and the consumption of animal products, as this relates to social and cultural genealogies. Consequently, I will explore a queer form of veganism that affirms the radical impact …

Vegetarianism And Virtue: Does Consequentialism Demand Too Little?, Nathan Nobis
Nathan M. Nobis, PhD
The article discusses the moral aspects of vegetarianism. This will make vegetarians more compassionate and caring for animals and will result in better health and less finances. The virtue theory or the vegetarian justifying principle connotes that one should not support even symbolically bad practices to animals when good alternatives are readily available. Becoming a vegetarian is a way of attesting to the depth and sincerity of one's belief in the wrongness of how we treat animals and its consequence to humans. Consequentialism does not demand too little because it requires that one conforms his behavior to the vegetarian justifying …
The “Babe” Vegetarians: Bioethics, Animal Minds And Moral Methodology, Nathan Nobis
The “Babe” Vegetarians: Bioethics, Animal Minds And Moral Methodology, Nathan Nobis
Nathan M. Nobis, PhD
Here I discuss the role the film “Babe” has played in helping people address these challenges and make this moral progress. It is thought that a significant number of young people (mostly girls, now young women) became vegetarians due to their seeing “Babe.” These people are often called “Babe Vegetarians,” influence by what has been called “The Babe Effect.” Many of their stories are found on the internet.
