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.
