He refuses to give in to the 'keeping up with the appearances' life his sister and her children seem to want for themselves. He seems to be the only person who refuses to bow to the will of this society. But you like Marco, because he doesn't eat the special meat, he refuses to call it that. If you can stomach it, you'll find that the world and its people are horrible. Marco is old enough to remember when his father's plant butchered livestock, not people, what the public calls 'special meat'. Our main protagonist is Marco, who owns and runs his father's meat processing plant. The meat we eat is no longer a viable dietary option, but instead of living the vegan lifestyle or coming up with a great alternative to help with their missing nutritional need, the government takes the opportunity to make cannibalism legal. Readers stare horrifically into a world in which a virus makes animals deadly to humans-all animals, including livestock. Written By Agustina Bazterrica and translated from Spanish to English in 2020 by Sarah Moses, Tender is the Flesh is a work of speculative fiction that definitely lives up to that name. If you lived in a world where everyone was eating human flesh, would you?
