What They Wrote About the Book: The handbook for responsible consumers "Graveyard on a Plate" is an excellent aid for navigating the confusing market of everyday consumer products. It draws attention to specific products and reveals the background of food production. The author does not intend to frighten us. His goal is to pass on valuable information that most manufacturers, to put it mildly, do not disclose. It is invaluable for vegetarians and vegans, as it allows them to fulfill the goal of their efforts without excuses. After reading it, we can no longer make excuses that we did not know. Thanks to the author, we now know, and it is up to us how we decide. Tomáš Popp, chairman of the civic association Svoboda zvířat
