Did you know that a quarter of all the meat consumed in the United States is eaten by our pets? That's the equivalent to the amount devoured by 26 million Americans, and it makes U.S. cats and dogs equal to the fifth largest country in terms of animal protein consumption. Yet the impact pet food has on the environment and climate change, how healthy or necessary it is for our animal companions, or how it impacts the welfare of the farmed animals who become that food are barely known or ignored--even by animal lovers! The Clean Pet Food Revolution lifts the lid on the current pet food industry: its claims of what constitutes a "natural" diet for pets, its shocking record on animal welfare, and its devastating effect on the environment and climate change. The book explodes myths about "grain-free" diets, protein intake, and what our pets "want." Finally, it details the many exciting scientific developments in alternative proteins--whether from plants, fungi, insects, or cell-based meat products--that promise not only to completely change what we feed our cats and dogs but to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, end farmed-animal slaughter, and make our pets healthier. Written by specialists in veterinary science, biotech, and animal welfare, The Clean Pet Food Revolution is a thoroughly researched and compellingly written excoriation of an unsustainable present and a fascinating glimpse of future possibilities.

For thousands of years on this earth the mix of animals, plants and birds of the air have lived together and nearly all have survived. A few have become extinct for some reason or other, probably due to atmospheric changes over the earth's surface. It seems that the predators and prey have remained about equal. If they had not, there would have been some change and one would have become extinct. Most of the animals, birds, insects etc, are pretty much divided between predator and prey, which would keep a balance. Only the vegetarians are not among the predator class. They do not prey on any animal, insect or fowl, but they are prey for any of the larger predators, the meat eaters. When man first appeared on this earth, in whatever shape or form, it appears that he was both a meat eater and a vegetable eater. He then became both a predator and prey. He began to eat meat and had to learn to defend himself against larger animals and predators that wanted to eat him. A normal natural way of controlling population was changed by man's greater intelligence giving him weapons to defend himself against any predator. This made him the strongest and greatest predator.

A vegan-turned-hunter reignites the connection between humans and our food sources and continues the dialog begun by Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver. While still in high school, Tovar Cerulli experimented with vegetarianism and by the age of twenty, he was a vegan. Ten years later, in the face of declining health, he would find himself picking up a rifle and heading into the woods. Through his personal quest, Tovar Cerulli bridges disparate worldviews and questions moral certainties, challenging both the behavior of many hunters and the illusion of blamelessness maintained by many vegetarians. In this time of intensifying concern over ecological degradation, how do we make peace with the fact that, even in growing organic vegetables, life is sustained by death? Drawing on personal anecdotes, philosophy, history and religion, Cerulli shows how America’s overly sanitized habits of consumption and disconnection with our food have resulted in so many of the health and environmental crises we now face.
