About This Book

A series of essays and dialogues presents a systematic, logical case for adopting a non-flesh diet, examining ethical, scientific, hygienic, aesthetic, economic and religious arguments, rebutting common objections through imagined and reported exchanges, tracing historical and structural evidence, addressing digestion and climate considerations, and relating vegetarianism to broader social reforms; it aims to clarify misconceptions and test opposing claims while proposing humane and practical grounds for dietary change.
