In this episode I try to answer the common objection that humans were made to eat meat, as well as some common variations of this argument such as "Humans evolved to eat meat", "Early humans ate meat, so why should we stop now?", "We need to eat meat to stay healthy", "God put animals on Earth for us to eat" and "Other animals kill each other for food so why shouldn't we?". Later, I also talk about, "Is eating other animal products such as dairy, eggs and honey natural?"Click here to download the podcastWhen I started recording, I found out my webcam had a handy "suppress background noise" feature that just hadn't been turned on properly, even though it was checked. So hopefully now there isn't too much background noise!Here are the links to the podcasts/blogs I mention in this episode:NZ Vegan PodcastFood for ThoughtCoexisting with Nonhuman AnimalsMy Face is on FireAbolitionist ApproachVeganaciousThanks for being awesome, guys! ;)

Oh dear. I said Four thousand eight hunded animals were killed by PETA in 2009 but according to the article it was 2, 352. However, that doesn't change my point, still I apologise for again getting my figures wrong:8 Animals on Opposing Views by Gary FrancioneThat link is to an opposing views page that linked to an Abolitionist Approach blog entry related to the story. Have a look at the comments and you will see what I mean. For example, the comment by Heidi Parker, Mail Coordinator, PETA Foundation and the comment immediately following her comment, for that matter. Here is a link to the Vegan Examiner Adam Kochanowicz's article on the Mercy For Animals video: My Thoughts on MFA's videoHere is a link to the article about the UN: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet Finally, here is a link to Vegan Poet M. Butterflies Katz's blog where she has the articles: The Vegan TruthI hope I remembered everything!
Building on recent Veganacious and Coexisting With Nonhuman Animals podcasts, the ARZone team look again at vegan education - this time vegan education in schools and in relation to teaching young children about how society uses other animals. How can animal advocates get access into schools and what should they - what can they - say once there? You may also LISTEN HERE.
