On Eating Meat

The Truth About Its Production and the Ethics of Eating It

De: Matthew Evans

Narrado por: Matthew Evans

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? 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. Evans calls for less radicalisation, for greater understanding, and for ethical omnivores to stand up for the welfare of animals and farmers alike.

Sure to spark intense debate, On Eating Meat is an urgent listen for all vegans, vegetarians and carnivores.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Intellectually thrilling - a book that challenges both vegans and carnivores in the battle for a new ethics of eating. This book will leave you surprised, engrossed and sometimes shocked - whatever your food choices." (Richard Glover)

"Compelling, illuminating and often confronting...Matthew Evans brings his unflinching honesty - and a farmer's hands-on experience - to the question of how to be an ethical carnivore." (Hugh Mackay)

Seriously Underrated and Very Comprehensive

This is one of those rare books that's almost perfect; the science is robust, the stories interesting, and the facts and opinions clearly seperated, all presented in an engaging and thought-provoking way. The topic is explored from many different angles and no one is demonized but everyone is held responsible for the food choices they make. Whether you're a vegan, carnivore, or omnivore there's something for you in this book that will make you a more informed and more compassionate human. I've been studying similar topics and ethical issues for years and I still learned a lot. I highly recommend it!
