When food writer Richard Cornish pulled over to the side of the road and started eating a roast leg of lamb with his hands he decided he might have a problem. He decided to give up eating meat for a year while he examined what it means to eat meat today.

My Year Without Meat is a surprising and bittersweet journey: For Richard it changed his body and his values. It will make you change the way you look at you supermarket trolley and prepare your evening meal.
