Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Kadir Has University, 2019)Dietary practices are linked with ethics and morality based on different sources of motivations (e.g., moral philosophy). Some of these dietary practices can become a lifestyle with different behavioral patterns, habits and consuming choices in daily life (e.g., veganism). Veganism, by definition, opposes anthropocentrism (human-centrism) and regards animal life as having equal moral value as human life. Thus, using a revised version of the trolley problem, including species-incompatible scenarios ...
