I started writing this book with three examinations.

The First: Why do we love meat so much? When and why did we start eating it? Why do we eat so much more now compared to thousands of years ago? Or even dozens of years ago? I know that evolution and the growth of factory farms had something to do with all this, but I wanted answers from experts about why meat consumption has skyrocketed throughout the past century. Really, I should say “clues to the answers,” because like any highly complex topic, it’s extremely difficult to make absolute sense of it all. Teasing out whether one event is the direct result of another is as much art as it is science.

meat industry, farming, American culture

The Second:

Disclaimer aside, my hope was that a detailed picture would emerge from this exploration, one that would inform my second set of questions: Despite all we know about meat today, why do we continue to eat so much of it? Is it our culture? Our biology? The chemistry of meat? What roles do the economy and politics play? Or, perhaps, is the animal agriculture industry itself responsible because of clever advertising and generous government subsidies?

The Third:

Finally, if meat truly is here to stay, how can we make it more sustainable, humane, and healthy? There are three predominant alternatives. First, we can “go back to the land” and push for higher-welfare, farming, and ostensibly healthier meat sourced from local, independent farmers. Other activists believe the future lies in “meat” made from plants rather than animals. Finally, perhaps the answer lies neither in farm country nor in plants, but in Silicon Valley, where scientists are developing cell-cultured meat: non-sentient animal flesh grown without creating the rest of the animal, meaning no skin, no bones, no feathers.

Ultimately, this book is about our complex relationship to meat.

It’s less about the Christmas ham or the pig that it was once a part of and more about the people at the table celebrating while eating it, or while abstaining from eating it. It’s about how we define ourselves by the meat we eat today and how our definitions will evolve as meat of the future does too. Most of all, it’s about how we might create a more compassionate, sustainable, and healthy world—a world we’d all like to see.
