Craving a meat fix, consumers (I use that word intentionally) turned to the only viable meat option remaining: humans. Animals have been eradicated, and for a while, the world went vegan out of necessity. Tender is the Flesh takes place in a future where a virus has made animal meat lethal to humans. It is a deeper critique of the entire global economy, our class structure and a food supply chain designed to minimize consumer guilt. To be clear, the novel is not simply a polemic about factory farming or a futuristic retelling of Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. Reading Agustina Bazterrica’s Tender is the Flesh did not cause me to second-guess this decision.
I have recently developed a preference for Impossible Burgers, a plant-based meat alternative, over ground beef.
