This week on What Doesnt Kill You, Katy Keiffer chats with Patrick Martins about his book, The Carnivores Manifesto: Eating Well, Eating Responsibly, and Eating Meat. The book features fifty ways to be an enlightened carnivore, while taking better care of our planet and ourselves. We have evolved as meat eaters, proclaims Patrick Martins, and its 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. 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. If theres a truth out there - that truth applies to everybody whether youre rich or poor, black or white. The elitism argument [in food] demeans poor people. [13:00] We need more farms producing more food for more Americans. Thats one of the goals of this book. [16:00] --Patrick Martins on What Doesnt Kill You
