This chapter focuses on the role of animal products in human nutrition. I will describe and discuss three cases to address whether people who consume animal products adopt ecologically sound diets, highlighting that there is no simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer to this question. The reason for this variation stems from the need to consider people’s ecological contexts. In all contexts, we must embrace an unconditional duty to act in accordance with our all-encompassing holistic health interest. This general interest comprises multiple specific, and sometimes competing interests, including seven interests in avoiding the consumption of animal products.
