The Little Book of Vegan Pebbles: 184 Questions & Observations for Vegans and The Non-Vegans Who Love Them (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780981861289)

What if a plant-based diet kills more animals than it saves?

It's a question the vegan movement doesn't want asked-and one that every honest eater needs to consider.

The Little Book of Vegan Pebbles distills the science, the math, and the moral logic of modern food ethics into 184 targeted questions and observations. Each one is designed to do what a good pebble does: slip quietly into the conversation, create just enough friction, and refuse to be ignored.

Every acre of commercial cropland is home to roughly 400 million sentient creatures. Every pesticide pass kills millions of them-intentionally, on your behalf. The field mouse shredded by the combine harvester doesn't care whether the hand that funded its death was holding a steak or a bag of quinoa. The honeybee colony that died trucking across the country for almond pollination doesn't recognize your boycott of honey.

This is not a book about why vegans are wrong. It is a book about why the full accounting of harm is harder-and more urgent-than any dietary label can capture.

This book is for:

• Vegans who sense their allegiance to the movement may be misplaced-and want honest answers
• Omnivores who've been told their choices are cruel and suspect the math doesn't add up
• Anyone who loves a vegan and wants to understand why the conversation always feels like a wall
• Readers who believe that if all animals matter, all animals deserve to be counted

184 pebbles. One honest question at a time.

A companion to The Big Book of Vegan Rebuttals and Becoming the Ultimate Vegan by Brien Norris.
