Riassunto

George (philosophy, U. of Idaho) challenges animal rights/vegetarian views held by philosophers, Tom Regan and Peter Singer, and by ecofeminists, Carol Adams and Deane Curtin, asserting that these thinkers do not fully consider the nutritional needs of those in other cultures and classes, and of women, children, adolescents, and the elderly. So, for example, while George and her husband have chosen vegetarianism for themselves, they do not restrict their daughter's diet, nor would they assert to anyone a moral obligation to become a vegetarian. George believes there are, nonetheless reasons, especially nutritional, to become a vegetarian and even a vegan, just not moral reasons. An intriguing book this: one written by a feminist philosopher vegetarian discounting the feminist and philosophical foundation of a practice she came to, and remains with, through feminist, vegetarian philosophy. For George, veganism is only an ideal diet under conditions of plenty, robust health, an appropriate age, and an appropriate body condition. Annotation c.
