This month’s program: “The Why and How of a Plant-Based Diet”

Evan Thomas and Kaylyn Rhoads’ presentation will focus on the ethical reasons for increasing the consumption of plant-based foods and for decreasing the consumption of animal foods. Evan and Kaylyn rely on secular philosophical and empirical arguments to show that the production of animal foods is ethically undesirable because of the way in which it impacts animals, the environment, and human health.

Humanists, who are interested in using critical reason to examine cultural norms and in understanding complex empirical problems such as global climate change and ecosystem destruction, will find this presentation thought-provoking.

Evan and Kaylyn will conclude their presentation by offering practical advice on how to make sustainable lifestyle changes to shift one’s diet away from animal foods and towards plant-based foods.

Join us at 11:30am for pizza; the meeting begins at 12noon.

Please use the west entrance that is on the side of the building.
