Should We Eat Meat

By Vaclav Smil

Yet another very smart book from Smil that is very difficult to apply to my life.

Smil tackles the history, steep costs and future of eating meat. He strongly doubts that veganism will dominate world diets. He goes into great detail about why people love to eat meat and why vegetarians are and will stay the exception and not the rule.

The conclusions of this book tackle the process, technical and logistical challenges we must address to reduce the environmental expenses of our worlds growing number of meat eaters.

But, it wouldn’t hurt a fully grown adult to eat leas than 30kg of meat a year— about 10oz a week.
