While I agree with a large portion of what Oppenlander says - his way of presenting it is so antagonistic, I can't imagine this work being well received by the non-believers he's trying to recruit to his cause. Yes: global warming is a very real problem, as are overfishing, deforestation, declining h Leggi tutto

A must read. The effects of eating meat are laid out clearly and effectively. The facts are in, the arguments are plentiful - the dire state of our planet is directly connected to the impacts our food choice has on: global depletion (especially land, water, rain forests, the oceans, soil), climate c Leggi tutto

This book is about as engaging as a stack of PCRM pamphlets stapled together. It also pretends to be about "the crucial issue of 'global depletion' as it relates to food choice," when it is really only about the effects of eating meat. Oppenlander doesn't touch on the environmental effects of non-an Leggi tutto

Great book, learnt a lot from this. If you care about global warming please read it. What we choose to eat is killing our planet and ourselves. Make the right choice

Let me preface with saying that I work in the field of sustainability and the heart of this message I do not disagree with: consumption of animal products is damaging the earth at a much greater rate than we can sustain.

Dr. Oppenlander does a very good job imparting the depth and seriousness of the disastrous impact of animal agriculture on our living planet. A must read for every person who considers themselves to have any degree of concern for our environment and the ecosystems supporting all life on Earth.

This is an indictment of animal foods on environmental grounds. As such, it is in a category by itself, and this is an important reason for recommending this. It is well researched and has a lot of material that you can't find elsewhere, including some material that I hadn't seen anywhere myself --

**2/5** I stopped reading this about halfway through because the tone just got too condescending to deal with. Some of the information was useful and should be more widely/globally known, but you don't succeed in adequately getting that information across when you present it in such a patronizing way Leggi tutto

EVERYONE MUST READ THIS BOOK. It is so incredibly important. I know at times the author comes across as self-important and unprofessional, but after years of researching how horrible the effects of a simple lifestyle choice are, I would come across this way too! The information provided is impeccabl Leggi tutto
