Ecological Diaries – Meat

The eternal battle between vegetarians and meat eaters has been going on for years, but we usually choose to ignore it until it bites us in the ass. For Yannis, father to two young children, the question finally arose when his wife announced they had another baby on the way. It was the first time he had dared question his nutritional values, which so far had begun and ended with meat. Trying to convince himself it was time to change sides – or at least offer his kids an option – he delved into the urban food landscape looking for answers: sworn vegans, gourmet meat eaters, raw vegans, alternative nutritionists, philosophers, psychologists and animal lovers take us on a rollercoaster ride through food ethics, seeking the answer to the ultimate question: are we really entitled to survive at someone else’s expense – even if they’re animals?
