The position of vegans and vegetarians is unrealistic and exclusionary. Eat This Book calls at once for a renewed and vigorous defense of animal rights and a more open approach to meat eating that turns us into responsible carnivores. Lestel skillfully synthesizes Western philosophical views on the moral status of animals and holistic cosmologies that recognize human-animal reciprocity. He shows that the carnivore's position is more coherently ethical than vegetarianism, which isolates humans from the world by treating cruelty, violence, and conflicting interests as phenomena outside of life. Describing how meat eaters assume completely-which is to say, metabolically-their animal status, Lestel opens our eyes to the vital relation between carnivores and animals and carnivores' genuine appreciation of animals' life-sustaining flesh. He vehemently condemns factory farming and the terrible footprint of industrial meat eating. His goal is to recreate a kinship between humans and animals that reminds us of what it means to be tied to the world. 410 0$aCritical Perspectives on Animals 606 $aMeat$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aVegetarianism$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aHuman-animal relationships 606 $aAnimal welfare 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMeat$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aVegetarianism$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships. 615 0$aAnimal welfare. 676 $a641.3/6 700 $aLestel$b Dominique$01044986 702 $aSteiner$b Gary 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465981903321 996 $aEat this book$92470924 997 $aUNINA
