Spotlight: Peter Witte’s “Bacon, Egg, & Oats”

“Bacon, Egg, & Oats” explores how eating bacon involves the killing of a sentient being. Peter Witte is unsure whether the killing of a sentient being is problematic, but he wishes that bacon, one of his favorite foods, could exist without all the suffering.
