Well, this is one matter on which I'm with the majority. Most people simply don't think meat-eating raises any ethical questions -- and they think so "out of hand," as I do. In other words, I don't even think it a question worth debating, and neither do very many people.
I of course have no objection whatever to people practicing vegetarianism. I don't judge people's private consumption practices, and I ignore judgments of _my_ private consumption practices.
