About this ebook

An eccentric old man's memoir from an enlightened future, penned for new generations curious about two of our now long-gone era's strange habits: compulsory clothes-wearing and cruel, animal-based diet. The 112-year-old scribe's writings, teleported back to the present, offer a radically fresh perspective of our historic, recent and possible near-future times regarding diet and compulsory dress. After the planet has transformed and comes to allow full body freedom and embraces a healthier, earth-friendly diet, these two former social ways are viewed as oppressive and deemed worthy of documented study. A factional 2006 novel, combining story, pop history, current positive trends, quasi-autobiography and visionary fantasy, the 423-page book (which is an expansion of Body Freedom Day), will appeal to anyone wanting to examine the validity of society's age-old repression of the human body and the mindless exploitation of intelligent fellow sentient beings. By turns lighthearted, introspective and polemic, it serves to mirror both our human foibles and the growing vision of planetary peace.
