The accepted definition of animal cruelty may differ between cultures and even between individual people. Some people may not mind eating meat, no matter where it came from, but think keeping animals in zoos in cruel. Others may abstain from eating meat or using animal products altogether. In addition, many animal-focused businesses make people a lot of money. How should young people decide what they believe? This book presents ideas about animal cruelty in an age-appropriate manner and allows readers to consider its many aspects. In addition, it presents tips to stand against animal cruelty in their lives and communities.

Vegan food is everywhere, it's tasty, varied and ethical. Gone are the days when the bland and the brown dominated a vegan's recipe choices. Thanks to a surge of interest, and an influx of ideas from around the world, it's now possible to create a series of flavourful dishes, bursting with colour and panache. Covering ingredients, nutrients and recipes, this delightful new book is perfect for entertaining friends, cooking for a family or a solo night of vegan joy! Veganism is a compassionate way of life, it tries to avoid the exploitation of animals, in any form. So that means no leather, silk or other animal derived products. For cooking, vegans do not include many staple foods in their diet: meat, fish, all dairy products (such as cheese or milk), eggs and even honey. This puts a premium on the need to create the sort of balanced and nutritious recipes provided so comprehensively in this mouthwatering new book.

"'Should we eat animals?' was, until recently, a question reserved for moral philosophers and an ethically minded minority, but it is now posed on restaurant menus and supermarket shelves. . . . The recent surge in popularity for veganism in the UK, Europe and North America has created a rupture in the rites and rituals of meat, challenging the cultural narratives that sustain our omnivory. Rob Percival . . . searches for the evolutionary origins of the meat paradox, asking when our relationship with meat first became emotionally and ethically complicated. Every society must eat, and meat provides an important source of nutrients. But every society is moved by its empathy. We must all find a way of balancing competing and contradictory imperatives"--Provided by publisher.
