Our future diet will be shaped by diverse forces. It will be shaped
by novel technologies and the logic of globalisation, by
geopolitical tensions and the evolution of cultural preferences, by
shocks to the status quo - pandemics and economic strife, the
escalation of the climate and ecological crises - and by how we
choose to respond. It will also be shaped by our emotions. It will
be shaped by the meat paradox. 'Should we eat animals?' was, until
recently, a question reserved for moral philosophers and an
ethically minded minority, but it is now posed on restaurant menus
and supermarket shelves, on social media and morning television.
The recent surge in popularity for veganism in the UK, Europe and
North America has created a rupture in the rites and rituals of
meat, challenging the cultural narratives that sustain our
omnivory. In The Meat Paradox, Rob Percival, an expert in the
politics of meat, searches for the evolutionary origins of the meat
paradox, asking when our relationship with meat first became
emotionally and ethically complicated. Every society must eat, and
meat provides an important source of nutrients. But every society
is moved by its empathy. We must all find a way of balancing
competing and contradictory imperatives. It is essential reading
for anyone interested in the origins of our empathy, the psychology
of our dietary choices, and anyone who has wondered whether they
should or shouldn't eat meat.
