For several years now, Western media has frequently portrayed meat consumption as unhealthy, ecologically damaging, and morally wrong. However, these claims are at odds with the latest scientific research. Perhaps even more importantly, they contradict some of the fundamental findings of anthropology, which as a scientific discipline, unlike nutritional physiology, is no longer in its infancy. In this book, philosopher Elias Gudwis (M. A.) subjects prevailing narratives regarding meat consumption to a critical and, at the same time, transparent examination. His thesis: eating meat is not only morally justifiable, but also beneficial to health and ecologically sustainable. Originally published in German, this fundamental work is now finally also available in English.
