Just Another Meat-Eating Dirtbag: A Memoir by Michael Anthony

5.0

I received this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review
"Because when you love someone, like, really love someone, then you're liable to do anything to keep them in you life—anything."

This book talks about an Iraq war veteran and his vegan and animal rights activist gf "Coconut". Coconut tries to convert him into a vegetarian/vegan hence he fakes being vegan so he wouldn't lose her and even tries to convert her back into eating meat using hypnosis and other methods.

I LOVED THIS. I'm not vegetarian but my dad is so I relate to this on a spiritual level. The book was so interesting, I couldn't put it down. I've never seen any book talk about this issue before in such a good and intriguing way! Both of them were wrong at the beginning: Coconut forcing her bf to be vegan and him forcing her to eat meat but I liked how at the end both of them accepted each other's differences and their distinct point of views. Such a positive message!
