Vegetarianism has deep roots in Western culture and history. We find traces of it among the first Greek philosophers, Empedocles and Pythagoras, at the end of the 6th century BC. Throughout antiquity, the "Pythagorean diet" was passionately advocated for. In this presentation, Renee will show how some of the ancient arguments are sophisticated and persuasive and share much in common with contemporary discourses in favor of animal rights.

Do you love Halloween? Do you like to dig deep into philosophical discussions of life and death? This episode might just be for you. Today’s show is a Halloween special where we explores the theme of cannibalism in zombie, vampire, and other fantasy and horror movies and shows how these stories actually underscore our speciesist tendencies. We also ask the question, do people like to eat meat because it’s a socially sanctioned murder? Or can horror movies help us to empathize with farmed animals that are experiencing the same horrors as the victims in the movies? Listen if you dare...

We highly recommend this 4-week, online course that starts Monday. Arihanta Institute's classes are informative, inspiring, and excellent quality instruction! Here's a bit about it: The global food system is a paradox. It is at once incredibly productive and terribly destructive. Perhaps nowhere is this paradox more evident than in animal agriculture, which feeds billions of people but causes widespread environmental, public health, and ethical problems. This course will introduce students to the concept of food systems and food system analysis, delve into the impacts of animal agriculture, and sketch out the possibilities for building a plant-based food system. If we can't envision a vegan world, how can we create it? Learn more and register here: https://www.arihantainstitute.org/course/1016-feeding-the-world-toward-a-plant-based-food-system

In this episode, we will delve into the discord between human rights and animal rights. Maneesha Deckha gives real world examples of legal cases to show that there are cultural, racial, and indigenous rights concerns for extending legal rights to nonhuman animals and how we can mitigate these tensions. She unpacks some of the history of these apprehensions and offers a framework for solitary to move us forward for everyone’s benefit.

The global food system is a paradox: it is at once incredibly productive and terribly destructive. Perhaps nowhere is this paradox more evident than in animal agriculture, which feeds billions of people but causes widespread environmental, public health, and ethical problems. This four-week course from the Vegan Studies Initiative asks what the food system would look like without large-scale animal agriculture and what the benefits and challenges would be to feeding the global population on a plant-based diet.
