Here is Mylan Engel's latest post. Please don't dismiss Mylan's argument on the ground that he, unlike you, has moral reasons for abstaining from meat. There are multiple independent reasons for abstaining from meat. Some of them are moral in nature and some are nonmoral. Mylan is arguing that if you care about your health (and that of your family), you should abstain from meat. Mylan may be making this argument because he cares about animals, but that doesn't mean that his argument presupposes that you care about animals. Do you see the point? Don't confuse Mylan or Mylan's motive for arguing with Mylan's argument.
