I Could Never Go Vegan

Tom Pickering, a lifelong vegetarian, often hears why others cannot go vegan. He embarks on a journey to explore the main arguments against veganism and if they are justified or whether his upbringing was one big plant-based con.

Pickering is a vegan who was brought up by vegans and sets out to answer the anti-vegan remarks he hears from his friends all the time; they could never go vegan because meat is too delicious, or because climate change isn’t real, or because plant-based diets don’t deliver the protein, or because these days free range or organic meat industries make animals’ lives better.

Thomas Pickering blends approachable narration with well-presented information in a welcome reminder of the Michael Moore method.

While meat-eaters are unlikely to flock towards this in their droves, its watertight case for a plant-based diet could convert flexitarians who give it their time.
