Once Upon a Time We Ate Animals: The Future of Food by Roanne van Voorst

3.0

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this title. I am a longtime plant based eater (almost 10 years), and have read the majority of books about the ethics/facts for conversion to a plant based diet. This was not one of my favorites, and I wonder how much might've been lost in translation. It was very heavy handed with the shaming of non-vegans, which is not usually a convincing approach. I had to skip some sections with in depth descriptions of animal slaughter because they were too upsetting. I'd hoped for more examples of new & exciting ways to live plant based, and this was not it.
