Thanks Chrischa for those points. I think I vaguely remember you mentioning the book now - sorry for my memory, it is actually very bad.
I guess I'd have to read the book to see where he's coming from but I just checked and our crumby library doesn't have it
I totally agree that the way our society as a whole treats animals is appalling. I've been vegetarian for a large portion of my life for that reason - it's hard to find animal products that have been produced in a reasonably humane manner.
(I'm not vegetarian at the moment though)
I can sort of follow most of what the book seems to be about, but I wasn't aware that humans were ever exclusively vegetarian? I must confess I don't have all the evidence at my disposal on that one!
