Unlike the Old Testament creation story that attributes the human fall from grace to Adam eating an apple from the tree of knowledge, this book based on science and history contends that our downfall began with the introduction of meat into the human diet.

The human body is perfectly adapted to thrive on a diet of fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts, and seeds, and is ill-equipped to metabolize a diet rich in meat, dairy, and eggs. This mismatch between our adopted diet and our evolved physiology has not only unleashed an epidemic of chronic degenerative diseases upon humanity, it is also a leading cause of global warming and mass species extinction here in the 21^st century.

Man Eating Plants: A Survival Guide for Life on Earth weaves together published works by the world's leading scientists and historians to narrate how we arrived at these three interrelated crises and how transitioning back to our original plant-based diet could be our saving grace.
