The Vegetarian Myth by Lierre Keith
Food, Justice, and Sustainability
Drawing on a personal journey from long-term veganism back to eating meat, the book argues that strict vegetarianism can be both nutritionally damaging and environmentally harmful because it depends on industrial, fossil-fuel–intensive monoculture that depletes soil and ecosystems. It challenges the ethical and political assumptions behind plant-only diets, contending that large-scale crop production conceals ecological costs and that animals and regenerative grazing practices play a necessary role in rebuilding soil health and biodiversity. Combining memoir, cultural critique, and ecological analysis, the work calls for rethinking food ethics toward land-restoring agricultural practices rather than idealized dietary purity.
