Nicolette Hahn Niman, a crusading environmental activist, vegetarian, and lawyer, blows the lid off the shocking practices in the pork, meat, and poultry industries in Righteous Porkchop. Niman gives students both a searing account of an industry gone awry and a practical guide for living a more sustainable lifestyle; detailing both why and how to choose meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and fish from traditionally farmed sources. Righteous Porkchop chronicles Niman’s investigation into the practices of the meat industry that caused her to lock horns with the big business farming establishment. This battle feeds her determination to organize a national reform movement to fight the shocking practices of industrial animal operations “Righteous Porkchop is a searing, and utterly convincing, indictment of modern meat production. The book also brims with hope and charts a practical (and even beautiful) path out of the jungle.”—Michael Pollan, author of Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food
