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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\r","brand":"Nina Guilbeault","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44443666120940,"sku":"9781635576993","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781635576993.jpg?v=1709487469","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/the-good-eater-a-vegans-search-for-the-future-of-food","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
