(2006) 1st edition reprint. Bloomsbury Publishing. London. Ppxiii,288. Black boards. Mint in dust-wrapper.
Notes: Highly readable collection of articles on all aspects of food and its production with frequent excursions into the author's adventures with marlin in Kenya, barracuda in the Bahamas and his mother-in-law in France. Underlying these articles is the author's point that every animal dies in some manner and then gets eaten by something: it may as well be people as any other animal, and it is our responsibility to ensure that animals are treated as humanely as possible in the process. Indeed, we can do a more humane job of it than nature in the guise of predators, disease and accidents.
