Uma Vegetariana No Açougue: A Saga De Uma Mulher Num Mundo De Homens, Carne E Crise Moral (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This is the first book I've read on contemporary eating lifestyles that actually takes into account the physical labor that goes into the production of food (meat, vegetables, grains, etc) and the monetary cost of maintaining certain eating habits. I really liked how Weaver talked about different eating lifestyles and the social cache that is attached to each one. I feel that the decision she makes at the end is personal rather than propaganda. Tara is a vegetarian who is prescribed meat by her doctor. The Butcher and the Vegetarian is the story of her venture into the world of carnivores. She does not go easily - whining and moaning the whole way. Is it ethical? Is it humane? Environmentally friendly? Even as she is fighting against eating meat she is loving bacon, flank steak with chimichurri and Syrian meatballs. I did not love how she and the people in her social circle felt the need to label themselves vegetarian, carnivore, flexitarian, vegan, bacontarian...Just eat what you want to and do not explain or apologize.August 2013

Interesting, but not as interesting as I'd hoped. I have a copy if anyone wants to borrow it.

Don't skip ahead to the conclusion. I kinda wish there was more medical references.
