Description
The vegetarian diet is praised for being sustainable and animal-friendly, but after 20 years of being a vegan, Lierre Keith has changed her opinion.
Contravening popular opinion, she bravely argues that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoilβthe basis of growth and life itself.
The Vegetarian Myth tackles these issues head-on, challenging the prevailing views on vegetarianism and sparking an important conversation about sustainability and our relationship with the natural world.
