Should We Eat Meat? - by Vaclav Smil (Paperback)

This book provides a comprehensive examination of meat consumption from an evolutionary, environmental, and health perspective.

It explores the consequences of "massive carnivory" on land, water, and the atmosphere, as well as the impact on human health.

The author presents a vision for "rational meat eating," where environmental and health impacts are reduced, animals are treated more humanely, and alternative sources of protein make a higher contribution.

This book is essential reading for professionals and academics in food and agricultural production, human health and nutrition, environmental science, and regulatory and policy making bodies around the world.
