A carrot cannot feel pain and discomfort like a cow or a human. Thus by eating vegetables we are limiting the suffering in the world at the same time as we are engaging our own compassion. I was surprised that this was not even mentioned in this article! Loved this piece.

I realize when I eat things I've grown or purchased locally just what it means to simplify one's diet and it does not involve anything sealed in plastic! Thanks for this interview!

Do you happen to know of a book or source that I can read to learn more about the cow situation in India that you mention? I currently live in India and although I am not normally a beef-eater, I would like to learn more about this and tell my husband (who IS a beef eater) about it. Thanks so much, Jennifer Hi Sharon,
