About this title

Synopsis

Unlike the Old Testament creation story that attributes the human fall from grace to Adam eating an apple from the tree of knowledge, this book based on science and history contends that our downfall began with the introduction of meat into the human diet.

The human body is perfectly adapted to thrive on a diet of fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts, and seeds, and is ill-equipped to metabolize a diet rich in meat, dairy, and eggs. This mismatch between our adopted diet and our evolved physiology has not only unleashed an epidemic of chronic degenerative diseases upon humanity, it is also a leading cause of global warming and mass species extinction here in the 21st century.

Man Eating Plants: A Survival Guide for Life on Earth weaves together published works by the world's leading scientists and historians to narrate how we arrived at these three interrelated crises and how transitioning back to our original plant-based diet could be our saving grace.

About the Author

Jonathan Spitz is an environmental and animal rights activist. For over thirty years he has kept abreast of the most current studies on the complex relationship between the human food niche and the Earth's ecosystems. When he realized there were no books in the ecological canon telling the story of how humans evolved from an obscure herbivorous species to become the world's most dominant carnivorous apex predator, and how this dietary change has led to epidemics of chronic degenerative disease, runaway climate change, and mass species extinction, he decided to write it himself. Jonathan has resided on the North Coast of California since the 1980s.
