About this audiobook
A heartfelt, humane, and even hilarious account of why rule-obsessed veganism fails and how a focus on flourishing can bring about an abundant future for all
In Hungry Beautiful Animals, philosopher Matthew C. Halteman shows us how—despite all the forces arrayed against going vegan—we can create an abundant life for everyone without using animals for food. Going vegan must be about flourishing, not shaming and blaming ourselves.
Hungry Beautiful Animals is a book of action, of forgiveness, and love.
"This timely exploration of the profound impact of our dietary choices on both individual and collective flourishing is essential reading for anyone who eats."—Bryant Terry, James Beard award-winning author of Vegetable Kingdom
“This is a book of sacred truths, the kind of thing you read and your soul forever registers."—Kathy Freston, New York Times best-selling author of The Lean

Filled with deft articulations of personal, authentic conviction for a plant-based life of abundance, Hungry Beautiful Animals stands as one man's scintillating testament. Through educated discourse, grace, humility and comedy, Halteman probes the veil between humanity and what's at the heart of its best interests.
