While we're a little disappointed that @NickKristof tries to justify eating some animals, we nonetheless salute him for stating that animal rights are "an idea whose time has arrived."

The ethicist @PeterSinger has it right:
There is no ethical justification for treating animals like machines for converting feed into meat, milk and eggs. It is wrong to ignore the interests of sentient beings because they are not members of our species.
