The Vegetarian Myth
2009 book by Lierre Keith
The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice, and Sustainability is a 2009 book by Lierre Keith published by PM Press. Keith is an ex-vegan who believes that "veganism has damaged her health and others".[1] Keith argues that agriculture is destroying not only human health but entire ecosystems, such as the North American prairie, and destroying topsoil.[2][3] Keith also considers modern agriculture to be the root cause of slavery, imperialism, militarism, chronic hunger, and disease.[4]
Keith argues humans should accept death as a necessary precursor to food[5] in that "everyone will get eaten, sooner or later". In sum, her proposition is that herbivores eat grass, humans eat herbivores, and then (eventually) worms/bacteria/etc. eat humans.[6]
