About this book
If we want to improve the treatment of animals, Dominique Lestel argues, we must acknowledge our evolutionary impulse to eat them, and we must expand our worldview to see how others consume meat ethically and sustainably. The position of vegans and vegetarians is unrealistic and exclusionary. Eat This Book calls at once for a renewed and vigorous defense of animal rights and a more open approach to meat eating that turns us into responsible carnivores.
A provocative defense of meat eating as an affirmation of our vital relation and debt to animals.

Reviews
Ralph R. Acampora, Hofstra University:
Eat This Book challenges ethical vegetarians with a variety of counterarguments to consider. Though some of the rhetoric may prove indigestible, such skepticism ultimately feeds the philosophic debate on diet.

Brett Buchanan, Laurentian University:
Witty and comical yet always serious in its defense of meat eating, Eat This Book is a pure joy to read.
