Every time we eat, we have the power to radically transform the world we live in.
Our choices can help alleviate the most pressing issues we face today: the climate crisis, infectious and chronic diseases, human exploitation and, of course, non-human exploitation. Undeniably, these issues can be uncomfortable to learn about, but the benefits of doing so cannot be overstated. It is quite literally a matter of life and death.
Through exploring the major ways that our current system of animal farming affects the world around us, as well as the cultural and psychological factors that drive our behaviours, This Is Vegan Propaganda answers the pressing question, is there a better way?
Whether you are a vegan already or curious to learn more, this book will show you the other side of the story that has been hidden for far too long. Based on years of research and conversations with slaughterhouse workers and farmers, to animal rights philosophers, environmentalists and everyday consumers, vegan educator and public speaker Ed Winters will give you the knowledge to understand the true scale and enormity of the issues at stake.
This Is Vegan Propaganda is the empowering and ground-breaking book on veganism that everyone, vegan and sceptic alike, needs to hear.

I've not yet got through the book. I am struggling in the early chapter giving details of what goes on behind those walls. And I already know what goes on to a fair degree! I opted opted out of eating mammals in 1999 as a result of deciding to go looking and thinking after the disaster of BSE - a self-inflicted zoonotic disease of the UK cow farming industry. In simplified terms - go and research if you want the details and technicalities, the liquified brain matter of one generation was fed to the next generation. This was so as to make the meat slightly cheaper, rather than importing plant-based material - because that's what we, the public, do: we buy the cheapest piece of meat. Of course, buying the more expensive bit doesn't stop the horror and the environmental impact. As Ed explains, the main thing that does (buying 'Farm Assured', 'Green Tractor' or the RSPCA [sic - should be RSPCP: 'Pets' rather than 'Animals'] is help the meat purchaser to salve their conscience and assume (not even 'presume' because nobody goes and looks before forming that opinion) that they have done their bit to make the world better. Meat eating has not, does not, and never will make the world better - it will only ever make it worse: for the sentient, sociable creatures we create and eat; for the environment the industry damages; for the health of mankind both individually and as a species. Since COV, we've had SARS, MERS, bird flus, swine flus, Ebola and now COVID19. If we keep creating and eating animals by the trillions per year; if we keep fishing them out of the wild and scoffing them, we will just keep getting spillover diseases like these. And, one time, we'll get something with the impact of 1918 Spanish flu again. And if our scientists don't (yet again) manage to pull our chestnuts out of the fire we've put them in, then... well, I think that'll be Game Over for global human civilisation. And if that falls... well, we have the power to destroy ourselves completely now - to send the race extinct; during previous social collapses that's not been the case.
Anyway, I've drifted. But it's hard not to when contemplating folly of these levels. I look forward to reading the rest of the book, though I think this is going to take me some weeks - I am mixing about one part Earthling Ed (what people do when they don't look, or think) to ten parts James Webb (what people can do when they /do/).
But it's very eloquently and skilfully written, and in a fairly... passive (?) sense. There's less judgementalism than in my comments above for example. Which is a good thing. It's not easy to write without venom when one is deeply immersed and regularly exposed to such horror.
So yes, good book. Plant-eaters and those heading that way will gain oomph to fortify your (correct) stance, should you need it (not all non-carnies are deeply informed) and will give info to those who are able to use it (help convince others to look and think).
But it is not an easy read. But seeing foul and damaging systems, for what they truly are is never easy because such systems always (for obvious reasons) get hidden away.
