Based on her own personal struggle, Friend's original, witty take on the meat and livestock debates shows consumers how they can be healthy and humane carnivores, too.
Reviews / Votes
Bookslut.com, July 2009 "Friend presents a compelling case that there's plenty wrong with the way Americans eat meat. The Compassionate Carnivore is chock full of facts and well cited, drawing from a variety of sources. I applaud Friend's approach of finding balance between the extremes of mindless consumption and hyperawareness." Gastronomica magazine, summer issue "Friend's passion for farming and the fact that she continues to wrestle with her own recommendations add up to a readable, informative tale."More details
