The Mindful Carnivore: A Vegetarian's Hunt for Sustenance

摘要

Tovar Cerulli chronicles his history of moral orientations regarding food consumption in The Mindful Carnivore: A Vegetarian's Hunt for Sustenance. The contradiction encapsulated in the title is fitting, given that his musings about the moral permissibility of hunting remain conflicted throughout. Cerulli's journey is circuitous: from omnivorous hunter to vegetarian, to anti-hunting vegan, and then back to omnivorous hunter. I suspect he is more interested in the journey than the place at which he ends the book-merrily feasting with friends on venison.
