Editors:
Dana (Mailbag, Nov 8-l5) argues that it’s sugar not meat which destroys human health. Yet in that same letter Dana acknowledges the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association which noted that vegetarians seem to live longer than meat-eaters. In other words, Dana’s own letter refutes his own claim!
He also wants to know why vegetarians make a moral issue out of this. Just as I think it would be immoral to slaughter humans because some people may like the way they taste, I also feel it’s immoral to slaughter cows just because Dana loves to eat cheeseburgers!
Sincerely,
Steve Gordon
