Happy Meat The Sadness and Joy of a Paradoxical Idea

"By foregrounding meat consumption's emotional and cultural contours, Happy Meat forces readers to confront entrenched assumptions about food consumption. We mistakenly look to resolve what the authors identify as the meat paradox through education and critique. To escape this paradox, we must understand the contradictions and complexities of meat eating.To do that, I encourage everyone to read this timely book."
-Michael Carolan, Colorado State University "A fascinating analysis of the manifold ethical contradictions of meat, based on extraordinary data collection as well as extensive qualitative research. Engagingly written, deeply insightful, and thought-provoking, the book is a must-read for scholars and a great choice for students at any level."
-Juliet Schor, Boston College
