'A warning: this is a life-changing book and will alter your
relationship to food forever' - Alex Preston, Observer 'Since I
finished the book I have been following his advice. I hope others
will too. The future of the planet is in our hands - or rather,
it's on our plates' - James Marriott, The Times From the
bestselling author of Eating Animals and Extremely Loud and
Incredibly Close - a brilliant, fresh take on climate change and
what we can do about it Climate crisis is the single biggest threat
to human survival. And it is happening right now. We all understand
that time is running out - but do we truly believe it? And, caught
between the seemingly unimaginable and the apparently unthinkable,
how can we take the first step towards action, to arrest our race
to extinction? We can begin with our knife and fork. The link
between farming animals and the climate crisis is barely discussed,
because giving up our meat-based diets feels like an impossible
ask. But we don't have to go cold turkey. Cutting out animal
products for just part of the day is enough to change the world.
The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with
ourselves - with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice
immediate comfort for the sake of the future. But we have done it
before and we can do it again. Collective action is the way to save
our home and way of life. And it all starts with what we eat, and
don't eat, for breakfast. With his distinctive wit, insight and
humanity, Jonathan Safran Foer presents the essential debate of our
time as no one else could, bringing it to vivid and urgent life and
offering us all a much-needed way out.
