I have had this book on my shelf for quite awhile, thinking that it would be so much easier to continue eating and buying food as I have in the past - the ostrich way of thinking. But I fina...

I'll never eat meat again, that's for sure (I never bought it anyway, but I ate it when it was served...well, no more of that)...
I don’t mean this dismissively, but I feel like I finally get what Charlton Heston meant when he cried out, “Soylent Green is people!! It’s peeeeople!” Just . . . I don’t know.

Just a few things I learned in Eating Animals:· More than ten billion land animals are slaughtered e...
Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals is a must read for anyone interested in the ethics of food, regardless of whether or not you are a vegetarian.
