Join us at New England Vegfest 2026 for a thought-provoking presentation by Professor John Sanbonmatsu examining the ethics and impact of animal agriculture.
Shattering the conventional wisdom around the meat economy, Professor John Sanbonmatsu reframes the question of animal agriculture from one of "sustainability" to one of existential and moral purpose, presenting a powerful case for the total abolition of the animal economy. Raising and killing animals for food is not only environmentally destructive, he shows, but the wrong way to live a human life.
In a rejoinder to Michael Pollan and other critics who have told us that we can have our meat and our consciences, too, Professor Sanbonmatsu explains why "humane meat" is always a contradiction in terms. Veganism is not a “lifestyle” choice,” but the horizon of a new, superior civilization in defense of terrestrial life.
