«Anständig essen: Ein Selbstversuch» is Karen Duve's essay on food ethics, published by Goldmann in paperback (336 pages, in German).
Karen Duve, no friend of healthy food, tries for two months each diet with moral pretensions: organic, vegetarian, vegan and fruitarian. Amid arguments with her roommate, nicknamed Jiminy Grille, she reflects with dry humor on empathy towards animals and how much we are willing to sacrifice to eat ethically.
It was nominated for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize 2011 in the non-fiction and essay category. The original German edition dates from 2010; this paperback edition was published in 2012.
For readers interested in food ethics, vegetarianism and veganism, with a personal, critical and humorous approach.
Karen Duve is a German author. After secondary school, she worked as a proof-reader and taxi driver in Hamburg. Since 1990 she has been a freelance writer.
