Eat This Book - A Carnivore's Manifesto

Summary

If we want to improve the treatment of animals, Dominique Lestel argues, we must acknowledge our evolutionary impulse to eat them and we must expand our worldview to see how others consume meat ethically and sustainably. The position of vegans and vegetarians is unrealistic and exclusionary. Eat This Book calls at once for a renewed and vigorous defense of animal rights and a more open approach to meat eating that turns us into responsible carnivores. Lestel skillfully synthesizes Western philosophical views on the moral status of animals and holistic cosmologies that recognize human-animal reciprocity. He shows that the carnivore's position is more coherently ethical than vegetarianism, which isolates humans from the world by treating cruelty, violence, and conflicting interests as phenomena outside of life. Describing how meat eaters assume completely—which is to say, metabolically—their animal status, Lestel opens our eyes to the vital relation between carnivores and animals and carnivores' genuine appreciation of animals' life-sustaining flesh. He vehemently condemns factory farming and the terrible footprint of industrial meat eating. His goal is to recreate a kinship between humans and animals that reminds us of what it means to be tied to the world.

    When you begin researching how to lose weight, heal yourself, or combat the side effects of aging, you probably have come across a multitude of different plans and ideas that offer unrealistic and “too good to be true” solutions. But the reality is that if it sounds unbelievable, chances are it is. All the different options out there that seem to offer you a magic pill to fix everything are often dangerous to your health and well-being. And they are probably not great for your waistline either.You cannot expect to support your body by only eating cabbage soup and celery. There is no way you can sustain that to keep weight off! 
    So when it fails, you can expect it to be a hard fall. And after that? Do you go back on that seesaw, or look for something more realistic, sustainable, and supported by science? 
    There are many choices out there to support your various goals, but only a handful can substantiate their claim to benefit all of them. Autophagy is more than a diet, but rather a state of being. It is a natural process that you can activate with your diet and lifestyle and then reap some amazing benefits. You can activate it fast, with an “extreme” approach, such as water fasting, or mimic fasting and ease in slower into the state of being. And there are options in between those extremes that you can consider, too. But do you know exactly what autophagy is and why it is beneficial to your body? Do you know how and why it is activated in your body? Reading through this “manual” on how to cleanse and heal your body will give you these answers and more.It is not easy changing your lifestyle, losing weight, and supporting your health.
