What is a healthy choice for one might be an ecological choice for another, and an ethical or moral choice for yet another. All these individual/social choices are reflected in the discourses around vegetarianism. (It's not as though ecological horrors are not highlighted to make room for the morality play that many construct out of vegetarianism.) Why is that problematic?
