ITEM OVERVIEW
We've been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed it and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we've been led astray—not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance. Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.
"This book saved my life. Not only does The Vegetarian Myth make clear how we should be eating, but also how the dominant food system is killing the planet. This necessary book challenges many of the destructive myths we live by and offers us a way back into our bodies, and back into the fight to save the planet." —Derrick Jensen
This book promises to be controversial (hell, it caused a stir even within the AK Press distro team) but we decided to make it available anyway because we think it's worth looking at different arguments around environmental sustainability, food politics, and animal rights—even if we don't all agree.
