Live, Die, Buy, Eat. These words represent a chain of events which
today is disconnected. In the past few years, controversies around
meat have arisen around industrialization and globalization of meat
production, often pivoting around health, environmental issues, and
animal welfare. Although meat increasingly figures as a problem,
most consumers' knowledge of animal husbandry and meat production
is more absent than ever. Tracing a historical process of
alienation along three distinct axes, the authors show how the
animal origin of meat is covered up, rationalized, forgotten,
excused, neglected, and denied. How is meat produced today, and
where? How do we consume meat, and how have our consumption habits
changed? Why have these changes occurred, and what are the social
and cultural consequences of these changes? Using Norway as a case
study, this book examines the dramatic changes in meat production
and consumption over the last 150 years. With a wide range of
historical sources, together with interviews and observation at
farms, slaughterhouses, and production units, as well as analyses
of contemporary texts and digital sources, Live, Die, Buy, Eat
explores the transformation of animal husbandry, meat production
and consumption, together with its cultural consequences. It will
appeal to scholars of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies,
geography, and history with an interest in food, agriculture,
environment, and culture.
