Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m so thankful for this author and the points she points out about our broken food system. And gives you a blunt, fact based argument as to why going to a vegetarian based diet is not only detrimental to your health, but truthfully more harmful to the environment than local farm systems. It‘s the plow, not the cow. Hahaha this book is thought provoking and should be a best seller. I‘m not sure why it isn‘t.

“The truth is that agriculture requires wholesale destruction of entire ecosystems. The truth is also that life isn‘t possible without death, that no matter what you eat, someone has to die to feed you.”

Really disappointed with this book. I was looking for a rational discussion about the negatives of vegetarianism. Instead I read a slightly hysterical, brow beating rant full of convoluted arguments. She makes some interesting points but the manic tone of the book put me off. Her arguments against a
vegan diet have some merit but if the book was argued a little more rationally I would have taken it more seriously

A vegetarian I once knew started eating meat again for the first time in 20 years after reading this book. I'm really interested to see what it is about this book that can change someone's way of life.
