The musician and activist offers ';a collection of compelling, well-researched essays... shining light on the world of agribusiness' and Big Meat (Publishers Weekly). For everyone from omnivores to vegans, this eye-opening guide offers food for thought on today's meat industry. Moby, renowned musician and passionate vegan, and Miyun Park, leading food policy activist, bring together experts from diverse backgrounds including: farming, workers' rights activism, professional athletics, science, environmental sustainability, food business, and animal welfare advocacy. Together, they eloquently lay out how industrial animal agriculture unnecessarily harms workers, communities, the environment, our health, our wallets, and animals. In the tradition of Michael Pollan'sThe Omnivore's Dilemma, Gristle combines hard-hitting facts with a light touch and includes informative charts and illustrations depicting the stark realities of America's industrial food system.
