<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>One of <i>The Atlantic's</i> Best Food Books of 2014: fifty ways to be an enlightened carnivore, while taking better care of our planet and ourselves, from the founder of Slow Food USA.</b> <p/> We have evolved as meat eaters, proclaims Patrick Martins, and it's futile to deny it. But, given the destructive forces of the fast-food industry and factory farming, we need to make smart, informed choices about the food we eat and where it comes from. <p/> In 50 short chapters, Martins cuts through organize zealotry and the misleading jargon of food labeling to outline realistic steps everyone can take to be part of the sustainable-food movement. With wit, and insight, and no small amount of provocation, <i>The Carnivore's Manifesto</i> is both a revolutionary call to arms and a rollicking good read that will inspire, engage, and challenge anyone interested in the way we eat today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Carnivore's Manifesto</i> is about a lot more than eating meat.

[He] is passionate, preachy, and, above all, practical-he doesn't want you to make your own ketchup or give up pizza, just to buy the best meat and produce that is in season and to chose quality food over commodity food.--<i><b>Publisher's Weekly</b></i><br><br>One of the best and most succinct arguments for buying sustainable food.--<b>Corby Kummer</b>, <i><b>The Atlantic</b></i><br><br>Passionate, thoughtful and more than occasionally amusing.--<b>Ralph Gardner Jr.</b>, <i><b>The Wall Street Journal</b></i><br><br>Patrick Martins is the shepherd of domesticated animal rights. Tend to them mercifully, then 'eat 'em if you want to keep 'em, ' he's always said. This manifesto offers a unique perspective in an edgy, guerrilla style. You'll find it impossible to put to pasture.--<b>Mark Ladner</b>, <i><b>executive chef at Del Posto, New York</b></i><br><br>Read this book!--<b>Carlo Petrini</b>, <i><b>founder of Slow Food International</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Patrick Martins</b> is a distributor of locally raised meat through his company Heritage Foods USA, which sends over 60,000 pounds of meat every week to New York's top restaurants.
