Summary
New Society says, "Nutrition, environmental impact, ethics,
sustainability – it seems like there’s no end to the food factors we must consider. At the center of the dietary storm is animal-based agriculture. Was your
beef factory farmed or pasture-raised? Did your
chicken free range, or was it raised in a battery cage? Have you, in short, met your meat?
Most efforts to unravel the complexities of the production and consumption of animals tend to pit meat eaters and vegetarians against each other.
In this 2nd edition of
The Ethical Meat Handbook, author Meredith Leigh argues that by assuming responsibility for the food on our fork and the route by which it gets there, animals can be an optimal source of food, fiber, and environmental management."
