We've been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan.

The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won't save us. In service to annual...
