A growing chorus of scientists, health experts, and activists champion the benefits of a plant-based diet. Nevertheless, change has been slow to arrive, and the chasm between our appetites and our collective well-being seems impossibly vast. We know we must transition to a more plant-based world. But what would such a world look like, and how do we realistically get there?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne group of people has been grappling with this question for decades: vegans. Once mocked for its hempy puritanism, the vegan movement has grown from a fringe identity into a veritable cultural juggernaut. Yet visions of what our food system should look like continue to conflict. Is the healthful vegan lifestyle appealing-or alienating? Are high-tech meat alternatives merely a repeat performance of harmful fast-food values? Is modern veganism itself misguided-a wrong answer to the right questions?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Good Eater\u003c\/i\u003e, Harvard-trained sociologist (and vegan) Nina Guilbeault, PhD vividly explores the movement''s history and its present-day tensions by grappling with the most fundamental question of all: Is there a truly ethical way to eat? What emerges is a fascinating portrait of how social change happens, with profound implications for our plates-and our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287141982590,"sku":"NW9781635576993","price":18.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781635576993.jpg?v=1778537294","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/the-good-eater","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
