Haun's argument on vegetarianism is "illegitimate"
(11/17/08 5:00am)
The Nov. 11 op-ed by William Haun that appeared in The Eagle denouncing Bon Appetit for participating in peta2's vegetarian-friendly campus contest was conveyed as an expression of concern with regards to AU's decision-making. In reality, it was little more than a quasi-concealed attempt at vilifying vegetarianism and animal rights in general. Contrary to the arguments presented in Haun's op-ed, AU's decision to participate should be praised as a refreshingly active approach to social awareness and tolerance.
