And like most people who think that, very probably you haven't. Why? Well, in our world, roast turkey emanates gratitude, steak confers virility, and chicken soup represents a mother's love. Against that, simply swapping meat for plants won't work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHungry Beautiful Animals\u003c\/i\u003e, philosopher Matthew C. Halteman shows us how--despite all the forces arrayed against going vegan--we can create an abundant life for everyone without using animals for food. It might seem that moral rectitude or environmental judgement should do the trick, but they can't. Going vegan must be about flourishing, for all life. Shame and blame don't lead to flourishing. We must do it with joy instead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHungry Beautiful Animals \u003c\/i\u003eis more than philosophy: it's a book of action, of forgiveness, of love.
