My lovely wife sent me this link to Mark Bittman's New York Times editorial about the way we treat farm animals. Two interesting notes: Mr. Bittman establishes his ethos, in part, by alluding to Peter Singer, who has an essay entitled "Animal Liberation" in our 50 Essays anthology. Also, to my knowledge, Bittman is not a vegetarian, so I don't think this is an argument about what we should eat.
Reading and responding to this article - either in your head or in writing - in a Defend, Qualify, or Challenge fashion would be excellent practice for your brains. I'd be most interested to read your comments, if you have the time or energy.
