We've been told that a vegetarian diet plan can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the earth. Lierre Keith thought in that plant-based diet and put in twenty years as a vegan. However in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we've been led astray - not by our longings for a just and ecological world, but by our ignorance. The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the earth, and even more of the same won't save us. Operating to total annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, powered countless species extinct, modified the local climate, and demolished the topsoil - the foundation of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this globe, our food must be an work of serious and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be enforced across them. Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you recognized about food politics.
