I reject that as an appropriate or meaningful subset of what it means to be vegetarian, hence my comment. It's basically nonsense as far as I'm concerned. Do you have any supporting view of ethical consequentialist vegetarianism as a sound philosophical position or argument?

The foundational work that advances this view is Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, from 1975, and a whole bunch of other philosophers have written about it since then.

Thank you. This looks like a book I should read.
