Predatory Mind. Why We Still Eat Meat

Meat is more than just food. It is culture, tradition, symbol, and at the same time, one of the biggest mysteries of our morality. In his captivating book, Oliver Sternborn embarks on a deep exploration of the contradictions surrounding our appetite for meat. Why do we love animals but continue to eat them? How have hunting and meat-eating influenced the development of the human mind? And is it possible to change habits that have formed over millions of years? Sternborn examines the history of meat through the lens of evolution, psychology, and ethics, telling the stories of the first hunters, the modern meat industry, and humanity's attempts to find a balance between pleasure and responsibility. This book is not only about food but also about ourselves. It will make you think, feel, and perhaps reconsider your relationship with the plate before you.
