There is something really important I have to tell you. Yesterday I watched a speech that is going to change all my future decisions and I am sure once you watch it yours as well. This speech is conducted by an animal liberation activist Gary Yourofsky in Georgia Institute of Technology.

I’m going to defend why eating meat is unethical, not something entirely natural nor something we should encourage. To begin with, let’s clarify the concept of ethics. There are way too many definitions of this term, but I’m going to work with the one that is taken from the word ethos (Greek) which means “character” or “custom” and defines some appropriated morals (norms) to follow in a society, but also as individuals; they define what is virtuous and good and what is not in some way (not to be confused with rules and laws, which involves more of a legal and inflexible context). There are several fields of application for ethics and I’m going to support what I say by bringing up the utilitarian and environmental...
