I’ve come across this before. The author certainly makes valid critiques of veganism. This line of thinking also comes up on Bob Torres’ Making A Killing: The Political Economy of Animal Rights.
Unfortunately this piece just breezes right past ethical considerations and pulls the old “humans are omnivore” nonsense which comes across as just another excuse to go back to eating meat.

Yeah, since he was a speciesist I didn’t expect him to be too gung-ho about it anyway.
