The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability by Lierre Keith (English)

Description: The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An examination that exposes the destructive history of agriculture - caused the devastation of prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil - and asserts that, in order to save the planet, food must come from within living communities. Publisher Description Weve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that weve been led astray--not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance.The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same wont save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil--the basis of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this planet, our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them. Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics. Author Biography Lierre Keith is a writer, a farmer, and a feminist activist. She is the author of the novels Conditions of War and Skyler Gabriel. She splits her time between Northampton, Massachusetts and Humboldt, California.
