| Publisher Description: After a childhood spent fishing for trout, Tovar Cerulli began to experiment with vegetarianism in his teens. By the age of twenty, he was a vegan. A decade later, in the face of declining health, he returned to omnivory and within a few years found himself heading into the woods, rifle in hand. Through his personal quest, Cerulli bridges the seemingly disparate worldviews of hunting and vegetarianism: can fishing and hunting be respectful ways for humans to connect with nature and their food? How harmless is vegetarianism? How do we make peace with the fact that life is sustained by death? At once compassionate and probing, The Mindful Carnivore offers fresh, thought-provoking ideas about the food on our plates. |
