Consider a dinner party where there are vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters of varying commitments to eating meat. A host can respond in a few ways—cook options for everyone, cook options for vegans so that everyone can eat but maybe not have what they really want, or cook for themself and let the guests pick and choose. The guests have options too—they can be curious about each other’s eating choices and respect those differences, or they can try to persuade others to eat their own way. Each person’s choice is probably informed by a mix of ethics, cultural norms, access, and personal preferences, as well as complex factors like the healthiest diet for human bodies, what’s right for the planet, whether animals have feelings or spirits, how the economy should run, and so on, and so on.
