What do people usually say in response to the charge that veg-ism is elitist? I having an ongoing debate with a kid in my class about it. My response was that vegetables (although, admittedly not usually organic)are cheaper than a lot of meat. Everyone (who eats at all) makes a choice about what they eat and everyone can make at least minor changes in their diet to alleviate suffering. Even if it is elitist, if you have this privledge isn't it your responsibility to reduce suffering?
Also, isn't meat considered a delicacy in many places (outside of the U.S) This goes against the argument that eating vegtabables is elitist!
What do other people think?
