  One of the great science and health revelations of our time is the danger posed by meat-eating. Every day, it seems, we are warned about the harm producing and consuming meat can do to the environment and our bodies. Many of us have tried to limit how much meat we consume, and many of us have tried to give it up altogether. But it is not easy to resist the smoky, cured, barbecued, and fried delights that tempt us. What makes us crave animal protein, and what makes it so hard to give up? And if consuming meat is truly unhealthy for human beings, why didn't evolution turn us all into vegetarians in the first place?In Meathooked, science writer Marta Zaraska explores what she calls the "meat puzzle": our love of meat, despite its harmful effects. Zaraska takes us on a witty tour of meat cultures around the word, stopping in India's unusual steakhouses, animal sacrifices at temples in Benin, and labs in the Netherlands that grow meat in petri dishes. From the power of evolution to the influence of the meat lobby, and from our genetic makeup to the traditions of our foremothers, she reveals the interplay of forces that keep us hooked on animal protein.

  Why are you listening to this audiobook? Because:You are disgusted and unhappy every time you look in the mirror.You want people to stop criticizing and making fun of your weight.You want to look your best everywhere you go and get complimented on.You want to have more energy and do all the active things that get you excited.You want to get healthier and live longer and not die from obesity-related deaths. 
  Weight loss seems simple at the outset, but the reality of the process is that it's much more difficult than many expect. Anyone can be on a low-calorie streak only to blow things with unhealthy food, at any point of the process. This difficulty is admittedly daunting — one off day can ruin several other days of hard work. 
  To help those interested in losing weight — and keeping it off — find success, countless products and services exist today, from supplements to exercise products and everything in-between. 
  For as effective as these products can be, they fail to recognize that the process of losing weight requires mental discipline to keep at its active participation. Accordingly, the key is finding consistency in the weight-loss process.
