Meat - A Benign Extravagance

Product Review (submitted on 13 December 2010):

A tour-de-force from Simon Fairlie. He sets out to argue that livestock farming has a key role to play in a low carbon food system, and that eating meat is an ethical response to climate change, countering the “the best thing would be if everyone was vegan” argument with in-depth analysis. This is the book which changed George Monbiot’s mind, not an easy achievement! One of the most important books about food and farming published recently.
