great point about human exploitation (slavery) vs non-human animal exploitation. too often activists will mindlessly bleat into the faces of opposition that non-human animal use is just like slavery. it isn't! there are similarities, but calling someone a slave-holder because they farm non-humans gets no one anywhere.
It's interesting he discusses living with non-vegans; I'm a vegan and my girlfirend is a vegetarian. SInce we often cook together to always eat vegan is difficult, as it often necessitates cooking two separate dishes. My girlfriend greatly wishes she could be vegan, but whenever she does she looses an unhealthy amount of weight. It creates a precarious position that we both hold the view that veganism is morally obligatory, but she has great difficulty with the actual implemenation of it. =(
