It also is not sustainable: the production and consumption of mammal meat is undermining the very ecosystems on which we depend. In this wonderful and easy-to-read treatise on our dietary decisions, Adam Rogers explains how eliminating — or even just reducing — mammals from our menu can dramatically improve our personal health, while restoring the ecological balance of the environment.
