"This is perhaps the single best book ever written about animal suffering and why the world needs to go vegan. Few philosophers have spoken to us with such power and conviction on a matter of life and death--a matter as consequential for our own future as for the other animals. The reach of the author's scholarship in laying out the myriad implications of the animal system is astonishing. Yet rarely does reading a book of this depth give such pleasure. There is hardly a sentence that is not deep, surprising, important, and with the capacity to change our lives. The great poet Rainer Maria Rilke famously ended his poem ‘Archaic Torso of Apollo’ with the words: 'You must change your life.' The Omnivore's Deception will do that for you. You cannot read this book without changing your life. It is a work not only of immense moral significance, but a masterpiece."
~Jeffrey Moussaief Masson, author of When
Elephants Weep:  The Emotional Lives of Animals


Upending the conventional wisdom around meat, The Omnivore's Deception: What We Get Wrong About Meat, Animals, and Ourselves, offers a definitive refutation of the arguments made by Michael Pollan and many others in favor of "enlightened" omnivorism, exposing the fraudulent notion that we can go on raising and killing nonhuman beings for food without wrecking the earth, inflicting terrible suffering on animals, or ruining our souls.  The Omnivore's Deception goes beyond previous works on animal ethics and food politics in the scope of its critique, taking readers on a deep dive into the darkest psychological recesses of our cultural obsession with meat, reframing the question of animal agriculture from one of "sustainability" to one of existential and moral purpose, presenting the most powerful case yet for the abolition of all forms of human exploitation of nonhuman animals.
