How can 160,000 deaths in one day constitute a 'mediumsized operation'? Think beef is killing the world? What
about asparagus farms? Or golf? Eat dairy? You'd better
eat veal, too. Going vegan might be all the rage, but
the fact is the world has an ever-growing, insatiable
appetite for meat—especially cheap meat. Former food
critic and chef, now farmer and restaurateur, Matthew
Evans grapples with the thorny issues around the ways
we produce and consume animals. From feedlots and
abattoirs, to organic farms and animal welfare agencies,
he has an intimate, expert understanding of the farming
practices that take place in our name. Evans calls for less
radicalisation, greater understanding, and for ethical
omnivores to stand up for the welfare of animals and
farmers alike. Sure to spark intense debate, On Eating
Meat is an urgent read for all vegans, vegetarians and
carnivores.
Matthew Evans is a Tasmanian smallholder, restaurateur,
food activist and star of the long-running SBS TV show
The Gourmet Farmer as well as food documentaries
What's the Catch? and For the Love of Meat. He is the
author of twelve books, including the authoritative and
internationally bestselling Real Food Companion and The
Gourmet Farmer Deli Book, as well as his autobiographies
Never Order Chicken on a Monday and The Dirty Chef.
