Never before has the human race been as conscious of the distance to our origins as hunters-gatherers. As society reflects upon the need for radical change in the way we inhabit the Earth there is a growing interest in closing this gap, especially in the way we feed ourselves. Whereas 20 years ago this social consciousness was firmly rooted in the camps of herbivores, more recently the desire to affect change is of equal interest to carnivores.
