Hitler was not a vegetarian!
This book is entertaining and presents itself in unique and non boring ways. It starts with the author's background as a flimsy, sorta vegetarian who wanted to research everything about eating animals because he now has a son when the world is like this and global warming is on the rise. Poor decisions aside they research animal agriculture the best they can and come to the reasonable conclusion that eating animals is horrible. They are now not a flimsy vegetarian and don’t want to consume meat, yay.
This body of work is not the best and dated though. I am not well versed in all the statistics and facts, but for example if you get the basic fact that Hitler wasn’t a vegetarian wrong I start to worry. It spends a huge portion showing welfarists struggles and showcases a vegan rancher which perhaps is not the best use of time but I did enjoy hearing those nonconventional perspectives about which I would have never read otherwise. Despite being a vegan and going through quite a lot of information, some of it in the book was written in cool ways that surprised me and kept me intrigued.
The writing has a very emotional and empathetic touch which I miss when reading most non fiction, you don’t necessarily write a better book if you opt out from emotions for intellectualization.
The author is not vegan which is a shame and weird, but the information in the book would make a ton of people vegan and already has. Perhaps I am rating it too high, oh well. Let’s end this with a vegan message, haha. Be vegan! Watchdominion.org xoxo (Recently I have been going around the town writing this in chalk everywhere. You are welcome. You wish you were me.)
