MEAT ME HALFWAY How Changing the Way We Eat Can Improve Our Lives and Save Our Planet

Pete Cross thoughtfully narrates this polemical audiobook at a good pace and with a sure sense of its complexity and meaning. His narrative style moves from the informal to the informational as the author shares his own story and takes on the issues surrounding the raising of cattle (pollution), the production of meat (humane treatment of animals), and the environmental cost of eating meat (global warming). Kateman founded the Reducetarian movement, so his biases are clear. But he is an impressive researcher and reporter, and a balanced thinker. Listeners will learn that no one solution--veganism, pasture-raising cattle, plant-based burgers, or cell-raised meat--will solve the planetary crisis that our addiction to meat has engendered. Instead, a welter of solutions will be required moving forward. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
