Meat

After working undercover at a slaughterhouse for an expose on meat processing, Susan Bourette resolved to go completely vegetarian. She lasted approximately five weeks. Dissatisfied with tofu and lentils, Susan began her quest for the perfect meat one she could enjoy without guilt.With a reporters eye and a carnivores appetite, Bourette takes readers behind the bucolic facade of the famous Blue Hill farm; on a long, hot Texas cattle drive, a whale hunt with the Inupiat and a Canadian moose hunt; and behind the counter in a Greenwich Village butcher shop. Humorous yet authoritative, Meat celebrates the pleasure of eating meat, as well as the lives of those who hunt, raise, and cook itand most important, the rewards of being a compassionate carnivore.
