On Eating Meat: The Truth About Its Production and the Ethics of Eating It by Matthew Evans
A scorching manifesto on the ethics of eating meat by the best placed person to write about it - farmer and chef Matthew Evans, aka The Gourmet Farmer.
How can 160,000 deaths in one day constitute a 'medium-sized operation'?
Think beef is killing the world? What about asparagus farms? Or golf?
Eat dairy? You'd better eat veal, too.
Going vegan might be all the rage, but the fact is the world has an ever-growing, insatiable appetite for meat - especially cheap meat. Former food critic and chef, now farmer and restaurateur Matthew Evans grapples with the thorny issues around the ways we produce and consume animals. From feedlots and abattoirs, to organic farms and animal welfare agencies, he has an intimate, expert understanding of the farming practices that take place in our name.
