If animals can suffer, does that make it immoral to eat meat?

I’m joined again by Dr. Mike Huemer to help me answer this question. He has recently released a series of four dialogues on the topic, which address many of the issues we talk about in this episode:

Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 1
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 2
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 3
Dialogues on Ethical Vegetarianism, Part 4

Also covered: free will, empathy, and whether the nutritional value of meat changes our ethical judgments.
