Trade Review
Witty and comical yet always serious in its defense of meat eating, Eat This Book is a pure joy to read. -- Brett Buchanan, Laurentian University Eat This Book challenges ethical vegetarians with a variety of counterarguments to consider. Though some of the rhetoric may prove indigestible, such skepticism ultimately feeds the philosophic debate on diet. -- Ralph R. Acampora, Hofstra University
