Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson: Less Would Eat Meat If They Killed It
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 11th, 2009 in Authors, Videos.
In a new documentary, Processed People, author Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explains the very simple reason why he went veg: He didn’t want to see animals slaughtered.
Masson thinks that most people feel this way and if we were forced to kill our own meat, at least 90% of people would be vegetarians.
“There are always people who are willing to kill,” Dr. Masson says. “But you know what’s interesting? In every society, butchers are almost a class apart. It’s as if the person does not want to be associated with the act of killing. I think almost everybody has a bad conscience about it.”
Masson is the author of books such as The Face on Your Plate: The Truth about Food and When Elephants Weep.
