Eating the Earth is a powerful book about how we affect ourselves and our environment by how we fuel ourselves, focusing on the many problems with meat and other animal products as well as the many benefits of a plant-based diet. This book can change the world as it changes your life! “Eating the Earth is an eye-opening, thoroughly-researched book that delves into the multitude of environmental impacts of animal agriculture...
