For thousands of years, there have been civilizations which have disregarded the flesh of animals as food. This has brought them into conflict with those who eat meat; often in good humor, but occasionally boiling over and becoming heated.With veganism came a new way of thinking which also excluded animal by-products, such as eggs, cheese, and honey from the diet, but controversy and resistance to this way of life has never been far away.Now, with How Vegans and Carnivores Can Live in Harmony, comes a book which looks at how we can be so ideologically different, just from the things we eat, and still learn to live side by side and get along.Filled with practical methods for interpersonal mediation and perspectives that help understanding and overcoming these conflicts, the mission is to gain an understanding of the points that each side of the argument has and thereby bring about greater harmony between the opposing groups.There is no judgement passed on either way of life and the book is written with empathy and in a rational and balanced way, aimed at mediation rather than confrontation.
