Getting to the Heart of the Matter: A Must Watch “Meat Should be off the Menu” Debate

I just came across the following from a debate hosted by Australia’s St James Ethics and Wheeler Centre from May 2012.  The topic was “Meat Should Be Off the Menu”.  Philip Wollen, a former VP of Citibank and an Australian philanthropist, is the speaker that seems to have particularly stood out in this three-on-three debate and it is his 10 minute defense that is making the rounds on Facebook etc.  I think it is an extremely worthwhile watch for veg and non-veg people alike.  Very compelling.  Here is the link to Wollen’s speech:

As I write this, I am also listening to the full 1hr 51minute debate.  Here is the link to that:

If you do watch either/both, I’d love to read your comments on the topic.
