About this audiobook
Human beings are getting fatter and sicker. As we question what we eat and why we eat it, this book argues that living well involves consuming a raw vegan diet. With eating healthfully and eating ethically being simpler said than done, this book argues that the best solution to health, environmental, and ethical problems concerning animals is raw veganism—the human diet. The human diet is what humans are naturally designed to eat, and that is, a raw vegan diet of fruit, tender leafy greens, and occasionally nuts and seeds. While veganism raises challenging questions over the ethics of consuming animal products, while also considering the environmental impact of the agriculture industry, raw veganism goes a step further and argues that consuming cooked food is also detrimental to our health and the environment. Cooking foods allows us to eat food that is not otherwise fit for human consumption and in an age that promotes eating foods in ‘moderation’ and having ‘balanced’ diets, this raises the question of why we are eating foods that should only be consumed in moderation at all, as moderation clearly implies they aren’t good for us. In addition, from an environmental perspective, the use of stoves, ovens and microwaves for cooking contributes significantly to energy consumption and cooking in general generates excessive waste of food and resources. Thus, this book maintains that living well and living a noble life, that is, good physical and moral health, requires consuming a raw vegan diet. Exploring the scientific and philosophical aspects of raw veganism, this novel book is essential reading for all interested in promoting ethical, healthful, and sustainable diets.

Reviews for Raw Veganism
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I initially assumed this book would be like other raw vegan books, mostly just about the nutritional benefits, improved quality of life and disappearing of diseases. This book surprisingly dove deep into the morals and ethics surrounding animal agriculture and consumption, and also introduced lab grown meat. The information about lab grown meat is already outdated though. A vegan serum has been discovered to replace fetal bovine serum to grow the lab grown meat. Lab grown meat no longer has a hint of cruelty in it. It’s also on its way to being legally available in the USA and elsewhere. Overall, this book is highly recommended as a thorough introduction to the ethical, environmental and health implications of animal consumption, and the benefits of the vegan and raw vegan diets. The end discusses raising children as vegan, and that there are no social or health implications to a vegan diet.
