As concern grows over the environmental costs and ethical implications
of intensive factory farming, an increasing number of people are
embracing diets and lifestyles free from animal products. Should We All
Be Vegan? gives a fluid and engaging account of the evolution of
veganism.
Over the course of four easily digestible chapters, food writer Molly
Watson reveals the truth about veganism's impact on our health, the
planet, and the global economy. Chapters like "The Evolution of
Veganism" and "Why Go Vegan Today?" examine the development of veganism
from the earliest meat-free human diets to the rise in mainstream
adoption of a plant-based diet and lifestyle today; "The Challenges of
Veganism" surveys the nutritional and societal pitfalls of a vegan
lifestyle; and, lastly "A Vegan Planet" envisions possible futures for
veganism and their impact on the earth.
Watson evaluates every angle of the debate on veganism in this primer,
reviewing the evidence for its effects on health and assessing the
ethics, environmental impact, and feasibility of adopting a vegan
lifestyle worldwide.
