The tragicomic adventures of an omnivore who falls in love with a woman whose eating habits - so he thought - were only to be found amongst ruminants. An entertaining and affectionate book about one of the obsessions of today’s bourgeoisie: healthy and morally sound food.

Marrying a vegan can have unexpected consequences. You may well find yourself cropping grass from a pot on your balcony – because in any self-respecting vegan household all plants and flowers are edible - or feeling guilty about the pain you caused all those shellfish you ate in your “cruel former life”. Keeping to a diet like this – as you will also discover – demands a huge investment in terms of energy and – who knows why? – money. Enough to really get on your nerves, all the more so when, after months of torture, you’re obliged to admit to your surprise, and almost to your annoyance, that your medical tests are perfect for the first time in your life.
