How I Unlearned to Eat Animals

Vegetarians are annoying. Vegans are extremists. They blow problems out of proportion that aren't even problems. And there are more and more of them. Millions already. Are they all crazy?

Their voices are getting louder. Is it a trend? Or are we facing a societal upheaval? What if there's some truth to the arguments against eating meat? And what will the people of the future say about it?

Marsili Cronberg has explored the topic of vegetarians and vegans. In unusual and always entertaining ways, he approaches one of the most debated questions of our time: "Is it still appropriate to eat animals?"

He delves deep into the subject matter. Sometimes he illuminates our society retrospectively as a time traveler from his present – the year 2200 – other times he approaches the question directly: What does eating animals have to do with me? He doesn't attack, doesn't want to insult or accuse. Rather, he asks questions that aim deep into the reader's innermost self, without hurting them. They are meant to encourage further thought. Because decisions that come from within are the most sustainable decisions.

Cronberg guides the reader through the subject matter with a relaxed tone. It's a pleasure to follow his train of thought. He entertains and amuses, sometimes very emotional and insistent, then again he floats along lightly with whispered words. And he always sparkles with imagination.

The text is accompanied by the comic "Happy without meat" by graphic artist LINGUINI, a friend of Cronberg. He is a master of the properly handled pencil. In this way, he light-footedly comments on the journey through the book in his very own way.

Cronberg describes the target audience as follows: Vegetarians and vegans will feel understood, no question. But I imagine them passing this book on to acquaintances or relatives after endless and exhausting discussions on the topic, and then, after a few days, these people call and report with a deep sigh: "Now I know what you mean. Now I understand you."
