If you eat and you read, you’ll love our featured ebook today: The Mindful Carnivore by Tovar Cerulli. Beloved by vegans, vegetarians and carnivores alike, Tovar Cerulli is a popular blogger who gained a large following in recent years for his meditations on the ethics and ecology of food. And his perspective has certainly changed a lot over the years—once a strict vegan, Cerulli is now a hunter who kills and prepares the animals for his table.
In The Mindful Carnivore, Cerulli traces his relationship with food—eating McDonalds as a child, experimenting with vegetarianism in college, going vegan, finally returning to omnivory, rifle in hand—and explores the nutritional, ethical and ecological connections with our food choices.
Is eating meat good or bad for your health? Do your food choices help or hurt the environment? Can hunters and vegetarians be motivated by similar values and instincts? How do our food choices really help or hurt the environment? If any of these questions intrigue you, you’ll be riveted and inspired by The Mindful Carnivore.
