{"product_id":"9781590564356","title":"A Plate of Resistance: Vegetarianism as a Response to World Violence","description":"When she was eight years old, Hélène Defossez experienced something that would change her forever: Out on a farm in the French countryside, she witnessed the beheading of a rabbit. What started out as a pang of childish pity eventually grew into a lifelong philosophy, a fundamental choice to refuse to consume animal flesh. In this personal manifesto, Defossez talks about her decision to adopt a plant-based diet, what it means in today's society, and the positive consequences that such a choice entails. She highlights the ethical and political dimensions of vegetarianism, inviting us to question our relationship with animals and our way of life in general. Above all, she presents a passionate argument for anyone sitting on the fence to find the strength to go against the tide and leave meat behind for good. A hit in France and available for the first time in English, A Plate of Resistance presents a unique view of the world that is nevertheless universal in its messages of compassion and nonviolent resistance as methods to effect positive change.","brand":"Lantern Books NY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182268104944,"sku":"9781590564356","price":5.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590564356_p0.jpg?v=1763807373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590564356","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
