“Why Vegan? How to Eat Ethically”: Peter Singer and Andrew Chignell in Conversation

 

Peter Singer, the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton, discussed his latest book, “Why Vegan? Eating Ethically,” with Andrew Chignell, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Religion and the University Center for Human Values, via Crowdcast.

Singer, an associated faculty member in the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI), discussed with Chignell the ethics of the choices we make about food every day. Singer’s book compiles essays from his career to make a case against human tyranny over animals and our failure to confront what we are doing to animals, to public health, and to our planet. The book ultimately becomes an urgent call to reframe our lives in order to redeem ourselves and alter the trajectory of our imperiled planet.
