See the current "war" through familiar foods! A perfect book for book reports and morning reading.

"Do you like ramen, curry, or hamburgers?"

Most meals contain meat. So, where and how is that meat produced? This book reports in detail on the process from cows and pigs becoming our food.

Are we alive thanks to the lives of many others? Through this, you can see the unacceptable issue of discrimination and the reasons why "war" continues to occur somewhere even now.

What can we do to end wars like the Ukraine war, Gaza, and Iran? This book is filled with the strength and wisdom for us to live in peace.

The cover and illustrations feature many new drawings by popular picture book author Shinsuke Yoshitake!

Table of Contents

Chapter 1: What if there was no meat?

Chapter 2: Where does meat come from?

Chapter 3: Discrimination is born, and war begins?
