'If you give a damn about this planet, and the fate of its inhabitants (including us), read this book.' Jonathan Balcombe, bestselling author of What a Fish Knows

Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation.

Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.

In This Is Vegan Propaganda, activist and bestselling author Ed Winters explores the powerful connections between diet, climate change, public health and animal ethics to answer the question, 'Is there a better way?'

Drawing on years of research and first-hand interviews with farmers, slaughterhouse workers, environmentalists and philosophers, he reveals how animal agriculture fuels global crises - and what each of us can do to help.

From the environmental cost of industrial farming to the hidden human and animal exploitation within our food systems, Winters lays bare the realities behind what we eat and shows why moving towards a plant-based diet is one of the most effective actions we can take to protect the future.

Whether you're already vegan or simply curious to understand more, this compelling, evidence-based book will give you the knowledge and tools to make informed, compassionate choices that benefit both people and the planet.

Klappentext

Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in.

Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.

Through exploring the major ways that our current system of animal farming affects the world around us, as well as the cultural and psychological factors that drive our behaviours, This Is Vegan Propaganda answers the pressing question, is there a better way?

Whether you are a vegan already or curious to learn more, this book will show you the other side of the story that has been hidden for far too long. Based on years of research and conversations with slaughterhouse workers and farmers, to animal rights philosophers, environmentalists and everyday consumers, vegan educator and public speaker Ed Winters will give you the knowledge to understand the true scale and enormity of the issues at stake.

This Is Vegan Propaganda is the empowering and groundbreaking book on veganism that everyone, vegan and sceptic alike, needs to read.
