Every generation, a book comes along that reshapes society's attitudes
toward food. Meat Market: Animal, Ethics, and Money is such a book, and
it offers the most compelling critique of animal agriculture yet set to
print. In his talk, Erik Marcus looks at the history of animal
agriculture and charts the decline of its ethical standards. Despite
the worsening plight of animals, Erik's message is hopeful and
optimistic. He offers ideas and strategies to combat cruelty that can
be embraced by meat-lovers and activists alike. He also shows how easy
it is to fill your diet with delicious, healthy, and humanely produced
foods.
Erik Marcus is one of America's leading writers about animal agriculture. He is also the publisher of Vegan.com, a popular website devoted to animal protection and the vegan lifestyle. |
