Meredith Leigh
The Ethical Meat Handbook
Ethical Meat is meat from an animal that had a good life, a good death, a good butcher, and a good cook.
Ethical Meat is a movement that seeks to repair entire regional meat supply chains, and much work is underway by brave hardworking farmers, butchers, processors, chefs and cooks.
Working to create the capacity for ethical meat has been a speciality for Meredith for the past 20 years. As a former vegan turned livestock farmer, owner of a butcher shop, restaurateur, non-profit executive, mother, educator, and writer, she has vast expertise in the systemic as well as granular details of good meat production. From pasture-based grazing systems to processing facilities, to butchery and meat curing, to policy interventions, the work being done to create better, de-centralized meat systems is vast, worthy, and ongoing.
Ethical Meat is based on a belief that the people who have the greatest impact on the lives and deaths of animals are the people who eat meat, and not the people who don’t.
