false 2481358 1 The average American consumes 218.3 pounds of meat every year. But in the face of concerns about Mad Cow disease, dubious industrial feedlot practices, and self-righteous vegetarians, the carnivorous lifestyle has become somewhat déclassé. Now, Scott Gold issues a red-blooded call to arms for the meat-adoring masses to rise up, speak out, and reclaim their pride. <br><br><i>The Shameless Carnivore</i> explores the complexities surrounding the choice to eat meat, as well as its myriad pleasures. Delving into everything from ethical issues to dietary, anthropological and medical findings, Gold answers such probing questions as: Can staying carnivorous be more healthful than going vegetarian? What&#8217;s behind the &#8220;tastes like chicken&#8221; phenomenon?  And, of course, what qualities should you look for in a butcher? The author also chronicles his attempt to become the ultimate carnivore by eating thirty-one different meats as well as every part, cut and organ of a cow (including tasty recipes), describes hunting squirrels in Louisiana, and even spends an entire, painstaking week as a vegetarian.<br><br>From the critter dinners he relished as a child to his adult forays into exotic game and adventures in the kitchen, Gold writes with an infectious enthusiasm that might just inspire readers to serve a little llama or rattlesnake at their next dinner party. This is the definitive book for meat lovers. 2488559 18 3 2008 The Shameless Carnivore: A Manifesto for Meat Lovers total:29|5:5|4:13|3:7|2:4|1:0| 29 106 58 13 3 2 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 07:34:00 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 10:29:23 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 13:42:09 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 13:58:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Feb 03 10:00:13 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 11:32:05 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Mar 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Feb 07 07:07:45 -0800 2008 Tue Apr 01 06:30:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 30 22:28:57 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 17:20:15 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 22:54:11 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 22:59:43 -0700 2008 more...]]> 2 0 false false Fri Sep 26 12:50:06 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 08:37:09 -0700 2008 1 This would have been a good long Magazine Article,or even a serialized Magazine Article..but there is not enough here for a ...more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Apr 27 09:35:14 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 27 09:36:11 -0700 2009 Llama?!
