Part memoir, nutritional primer, and political manifesto, this
controversial examination exposes the destructive history of
agriculture--causing the devastation of prairies and forests,
driving countless species extinct, altering the climate, and
destroying the topsoil--and asserts that, in order to save the
planet, food must come from within living communities. In order for
this to happen, the argument champions eating locally and
sustainably and encourages those with the resources to grow their
own food. Further examining the question of what to eat from the
perspective of both human and environmental health, the account
goes beyond health choices and discusses potential moral issues
from eating--or not eating--animals. Through the deeply personal
narrative of someone who practiced veganism for 20 years, this
unique exploration also discusses alternatives to industrial
farming, reveals the risks of a vegan diet, and explains why
animals belong on ecologically sound farms.
