Veganism is Virtuous but not Obligatory
This essay argues that while veganism is a virtuous act, it is not a moral obligation. The author contends that arguments for obligatory veganism also support more extreme, impractical sacrifices. The piece distinguishes between obligatory actions and virtuous (supererogatory) acts, suggesting that the latter, while beneficial, are not mandatory. The author acknowledges the harms of factory farming and supports policy changes, but frames veganism as a commendable choice rather than a strict ethical requirement. AI
