Folks, what do you think? Could I sign CAA's name on it?

Thanks for David Banks' Jan. 30 commentary about vegetarianism. It's a
delight to see thoughtful coverage of animal issues.
Banks claims that meat eating "is not inherently wrong" because it is
"obviously quite natural." By this reasoning, any widespread human
practice that's existed over many centuries, including slavery and sexism,
could be justified. Might it be that we've had our thinking wrong about
eating animals?
Regardless of our answer to that questions, Banks goes on to articulate an
accurate and practical approach to vegetarianism. He's correct to point
out that we have choices, and actually understates the situation.
Vegetarian options abound in Ethiopian, Indian, and Vietnamese
restaurants, and grocery stores have endless amounts of vegetables,
grains, beans, spices, and packaged foods to meet most tastes and budgets.
