The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Politics and Sustainability

Submitted by the Event Organizer

We’ve been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Author Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we’ve been led astray–not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance. The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won’t save us.

Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.
