In the last four decades, food reformers have revealed the
ecological and ethical problems of eating animals raised in
industrial settings, turning what was once the boutique concern of
radical eco-freaks into a mainstream movement. Although animal
products are often labeled "cage free," "free range," and "humanely
raised," can we trust these goods to be safe, sound, or ethical? In
The Modern Savage, renowned writer, historian, and animal advocate
James McWilliams pushes back against the questionable moral
standards of a largely omnivorous world and explores the
"alternative to the alternative", not eating domesticated animals
at all. In poignant, powerful, and persuasive prose, McWilliams
reveals the scope of the cruelty that takes place even on the
smallest and supposedly most humane animal farms. In a world
increasingly aware of animals' intelligence and the range of their
emotions, McWilliams advocates for the only truly moral,
sustainable choice, a diet without meat, dairy, or other animal
products. In the spirit of Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore's
Dilemma, McWilliams's The Modern Savage is a riveting expose of an
industry that has typically hidden behind a veil of morality, and a
compelling account of how to live a more economical, environmental,
and ethical life.
