Ben Shaberman’s collected essays, The Vegan Monologues, is both humorous and enlightening.
For example, in the first essay, “The Cat was a Breath of Fresh Air. Achoo!” Shaberman explains how his relationship with his girlfriend’s cat, Samson, encouraged him to go from being a vegetarian to being a vegan, despite not liking the cat at first.
He writes about the joys of used cars and having his bumper fall off in traffic, an experiment of just living on take-out food, running and being watched by a dog named, “Killer,” etc. He even has an essay on how to deal with someone who is a vegetarian – or even a Jewish vegetarian, like him.
This collection is very enjoyable and hopefully sheds light on why some people make the food choices they do.
