(Ebook) The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability by Lierre Keith ISBN 9781604860801, 1604860804

I acknowledge that this book has several problems. The author uses many questionable resources (including a direct citation to Wikipedia, rather than the sources that were used on that Wikipedia page,) and does tend to go off on tangents related to sociopolitical issues without backing up her claims. I acknowledge that the lack of global female empowerment is tied in with industrialization, agriculture, and the problems of consumerism, but she should have tied these pieces together in her book rather than throwing them out to be interpreted without support.
Having said that, this book does address many of the problems with the way that we eat and our industrialized food system as a whole. It goes over global problems of hunger, health, and nutrition, addresses why our morality may be flawed when considering whether or not to eat a plant-based diet, and discusses traditional cultures and foods and what we could learn from them. As a student concerned with environmental science, traditional ecological knowledge, and resource management, I can appreciate the way that Keith brings together these ideas and supports the notion that we should eat a biologically-appropriate, regionally-responsible diet. Some may call it a flawed argument that appeals to nature, but this is also addressed within the text, again returning to some of the very successful indigenous peoples who have historically lived in great health due to their being removed from our industrialized food systems.
