A rough-and-tumble Iraq War veteran is young and in love, and the last thing on his mind is food and the ethics of eating meat. But when his girlfriend becomes a vegetarian and animal rights activist, suddenly food is all he thinks about.

A true story of how love and vegetarianism can triumph over all else. Love, heartache, and the rest of the ingredients that make a reader laugh, smile, stop-and-think, are all found in this enthralling graphic memoir. Amidst the stories of love and frustration, there are treatises on food, vegetarianism, and the ethics of the animal rights movement (some of it juxtaposed against Michael's graphic wartime experiences). Told with Michael's sardonic perspective and the delightful artwork of debut graphic novelist Chai Simone, this is a journey of true love gone temporarily astray.

Industry Reviews

"A winning argument for empathy, concluding that love can sometimes be the absolute best, too."-Publishers Weekly

"A refreshing book that provokes a range of emotions. The humor quickly draws you in. And the perspective of a military veteran offers us the opportunity to learn compassion through a different lens." -Global Vegan Magazine

"Addressing more than just the carnivore/vegetarian/vegan debate, also questions of war, speciesism, ethics, and religion. A star-crossed love story, told in confident, self-aware narration, spiced with engaging art, makes for a fulfilling meal." -Josh Neufeld, author of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge

"A charming, often hilarious look at how love is actually the worst." -Tom Hart, author of the New York Times bestseller Rosalie Lightning

"A funny and honest graphic memoir about love, war, and vegetarianism. More to it than you might expect." -Jenny Lawson (A.K.A. TheBloggess), author of New York Times bestseller Broken
