Sommario/riassunto

Meat eating is often a contentious subject, whether considering the technical, ethical, environmental, political, or health-related aspects of production and consumption.  This book is a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary examination and critique of meat consumption by humans, throughout their evolution and around the world.
