Increasingly, people are shifting to vegetarian, plant-based, or vegan diets. This shift is having profound effects on our social interactions, and this is the focus of this book. Becoming a vegetarian or vegan involves more than just changing your diet. It can change how you socially and emotionally connect with family, friends and the broader community, shape your outlook on life, and open up new worlds and contacts. It can also lead to uncomfortable situations, if dietary choices involving a rejection of meat are read by others as an ethical and moral judgement on mainstream dietary choices. This book adopts an innovative narrative approach, and draws on stories across the globe to consider how the food choices we make in our everyday lives can lead to complex, and sometimes life changing, social consequences. The narratives cover a range of topics, including the moral reasons behind some individuals’ decision to change their diets, the religious or ecological considerations, and the potential health and social ramifications. To date, the social consequences of selecting a plant-based diet have been sorely overlooked in favour of texts that have documented the benefits of such diets, and usually focus on health, animal welfare and/or environmental issues, with the aim of persuading readers to give up meat, and change to a ‘healthy’ and/or ‘sustainable’ diet. Cultural studies texts considering vegetarianism or veganism have typically targeted academic audiences with analyses of how identity is constructed through food and dietary choices. In contrast, this book offers a unique window onto how our social lives are implicated in our food choices, and is critical in understanding the importance of diet as embedded in complex social processes.

Henry Stephens Salt (1851-1939) was an English writer and campaigner for social reform in the fields of prisons, schools, economic institutions, and the treatment of animals. He was a noted ethical vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, socialist, and pacifist, and was well known as a literary critic, biographer, classical scholar and naturalist. It was Salt who first introduced Mohandas Gandhi to the influential works of Henry David Thoreau, and influenced Gandhi's study of vegetarianism.Salt is credited with being the first writer to argue explicitly in favour of animal rights, in his Animals' Rights: Considered in Relation to Social Progress (1894)Arguments for vegetarianism: moral, scientific, economic, health, social, and aesthetic. Amazingly comprehensive, devastating critiques of 31 anti-vegetarian arguments (some so silly they are humorous, but many of these arguments still in use).The arguments or claims made by opponents of vegetarianism: (1) Consuming eggs and diary products contradicts the meaning of "vegetarian."(2) There is no difference between roasting an ox and boiling an egg.(3) Vegetarians who do not immediately and completely shun all animal products are hypocrites.(4) No great empires (Roman, British) were ever founded by vegetarians.(5) Human canine teeth prove the necessity of flesh-eating.(6) The human stomach is much different than that of true herbivore.(7) History shows that humans are omnivorous. (8) Vegetarianism is contrary to the laws of nature, red in tooth and claw; to kill is natural.(9) It is necessary to destroy life in order to live.(10) Raising food animals in pleasant conditions and killing them painlessly is not cruel.(11) Eating animals is no worse than using them for labour.(12) The rapid death of food animals is preferable to the agonising death of humans. (13) Food animals, free of the fears and dangers experienced by wild animals, are happier.(14) It is better for animals that we use them for food than that they do not exist at all.(15) Vegetarians who eat eggs and diary products are inconsistent.(16) Consistent vegetarians could never kill lice or germs.(17) Flesh-eating is just as aesthitic as vegetarianism.(18) Vegetarians are sentimentalists. (19) Meat eating is necessary for strength.(20) Flesh-food is easier digested than vegetarian food.(21) Flesh diet is necessary in cold climates ("What would become of Eskimoes if all became vegetarians?").(22) What difference does it make whether we eat flesh or non-flesh, so long as the spirit in which we eat be a proper one?(23) Vegetarianism is economically impractical.(24) Vegetarianism is an inconvenient diet.(25) Eating flesh is necessary for developing a manly spirit.(26) How could we exist without leather? Soup? Candles?(27) How could land be fertilised without manure from food animals?(28) If the life of animals be regarded as sacred as human life, civilisation will revert to a primitive condition.(29) If we turn loose all the food animals they will over-populate, overrun the land, starve, lie dead on highways and in the suburbs.(30) We were given permission by God to eat animals.(31) Vegetarians do not give sufficient priority to more important social reforms (war, poverty, etc.).

Vegetarianism is not a diet trend, or the flavor of the month. Instead, it is a philosophy and practice with roots in antiquity. Vegetarianism has existed for centuries in much of the world as a social movement and subculture. In the United States, this subculture has existed for more than 200 years. In this book, the Iacobbos bring this thriving subculture to life. By examining its businesses, organizations, events, scholarship, and influence on the arts, and by interviewing dozens of vegetarians and vegans, the authors reveal a subculture whose members hold a variety of perspectives on everything from animal rights to advocacy, politics, and religion. Building upon their previous book, a history of vegetarianism, the Iacobbos delve into its current incarnations. They include information on the food industry, health studies on the benefits of vegetarians and vegan ways of eating, the popularity of vegetarianism, and the backlash against it. They highlight the work of vegetarian advocates and provide a glimpse of the stores, magazines, restaurants, and organizations that bring this subculture together. Finally, they include projections for the future from vegetarians, environmentalists, lawyers, nutritionists, economists, and experts in animal rights.

"For many, eating is a social activity, where both culinary skills and consumption choices tend to reflect personal and social identities. As such, shared values and eating habits often both assist in the creation of social groups and are reinforced by group membership. With the rise of many unique diets like paleo, vegan, raw food, blood-type, and others, an important question to ask is: how does adherence to these choices contribute to one's identity? In other words, how do these dietary choices shape the self and how do they shape interactions with others? This study draws upon 30 in-depth interviews with practicing vegans in Pittsburgh in order to establish a better understanding of how vegans in this city experience social life and negotiate their identities in a culture defined by omnivorous consumption. Drawing upon identity theories and previous research on vegetarianism and veganism, the analysis aims to identify experiences that are both pervasive and unique within the vegan community in order to answer three primary research questions: 1) how do the dietary habits of vegans contribute to shaping their identity and sense of self? 2) how is a vegan identity contested in social situations and interactions? And 3) to what extent does a vegan community exist, and is there a collective group identity among vegans? A qualitative data analysis resulted in the emergence of a number of thematic categories and a newfound understanding of the social experiences of vegans in Pittsburgh. While some participants understand their veganism as their primary identity, others felt it to be a secondary component. Further, while many vegan stereotypes pin vegans as loud and judgmental, not all vegans are interested in preaching to and converting others, and instead use social strategies to avoid confrontation and maintain their identity. And last, while participants spoke of feeling a "sense of community" in Pittsburgh, it is not fostered through one single community, but many. Vegans in Pittsburgh have formed community through social media, formal organizations, and personal social networks. While there is an overall perception that multiple vegan communities exist in Pittsburgh that provide individuals with support, the environment also seems to foster judgmental in-fighting that puts vegans at odds with one another and threatens the cohesion of the community." -- Abstract
