Book description
Eating Animals is Jonathan Safran Foer's eye-opening account
of where meat comes from
'I simply wanted to know - for myself and my family - what meat is.
Where does it come from? How is it produced? What are the economic,
social and environmental effects? Are there animals that it is
straightforwardly right to eat? Are there situations in which not
eating animals is wrong? If this began as a personal quest, it didn't
stay that way for long . . . '
Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals is the most original
book on the subject of food written this century. It will change the
way you think, and change the way you eat. For good.
'Moving, disturbing, should be compulsory reading. A genuine
masterwork. Read this book. It will change you' Time Out
'Shocking, incandescent, brilliant' The Times
'Everyone who eats flesh should read this book' Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
'Gripping, horrible, wonderful, breathtaking, original. A brilliant
synthesis of argument, science and storytelling. One of the finest
books ever written on the subject of eating animals' The Times
Literary Supplement
'Horrifying, eloquent, timely' Spectator
'If you eat meat and fish, you should read this book. Even if you
don't, you should. It might bring the beginning of a change of heart
about all living things' Joanna Lumley
