In my galaxy Amory Lovins, Lester B. Brown, David Orr and Chief Arvol Looking Horse are definitely stars around which to orbit, but this year it looks like author, model, actress, and holistic “lifestyle expert” Mariel Hemingway will be the most recognizable celebrity there. The star of Personal Best, Manhattan and In Her Line of Fire has recently released a healthy cookbook, Mariel’s Kitchen. Unfortunately it’s not vegetarian, but Rachael Ray called it “a farm to table, locally grown guide to good simple eating” which doesn’t sound all bad. (Check out our interview with Hemingway on her new book here.)

I would disagree. In my book, killing for taste is neither kind nor compassionate, whatever the manner in which the animal was raised.

"To be loving and compassionate to all creatures is the right thing to do. I believe that animals can be raised on small farms for consumption if they are treated well." How can one both claim that the right thing to do is be "loving and compassionate to "all creatures" and follow up that sentiment by claiming that there is a justification for breeding and slaughtering them for consumption? Sorry, but you can't have it both ways--and it's an affront to us all to claim that you can. How terribly disappointing.
