Singer is a unicorn among philosophers: capable of writing coherently AND staking and supporting moral claims. There's really no else who can touch on topics like sex scandals and cheating in sports with the some analytical rigour and context as Singer does for his more notable work on the ethical treatment of animals.
You don't have to agree with his positions–meat, yum!–to appreciate that Singer's popular essays are the sort of thoughtful and contrarian writing that's ultimately worth your time compared to the partisan polemics or vacuous TED talks that usually stunt these topics.
