Toxic: The Rotting Underbelly of the Tasmanian Salmon Industry by Richard Flanagan
3.0
look obviously, as an outspoken political and environmental vegan, i wanted to enjoy this book. maybe ive been jaded by the years of stories speaking out against all industrial agriculture, or the marvellous 'seapsiracy' a few years ago, but this just didnt sit right with me. i don't know if it was the hints of nimbyism within the book, the fact that part of the conclusion was discussing how land-based salmon farming is coming, and flanagan inadvertently seems to advertise the coming advent of these farms as a way of saying goodbye to the current state of tasmanian salmon farming. i mean potentially we could go one step further and just stop eating animals and their products? idk man.
