Human beings cannot be human (much less humane) under the conditions of a factory farm or slaughterhouse.

I must have cried a dozen times while reading this book. The experience has changed me on a fundamental level. I've made the decision to change my dairy consumption and although I am pescatarian, I would now like to lessen or eliminate fish from my diet. If you've ever considered vegetarianism, pescatarianism, veganism or even ethically sourced meat from a family farm, I would recommend this book to you. I would also recommend pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans read this to reaffirm their reasonings for their dietary choices.

As a long time veg, I don’t read books about animal farming. But this one kept getting suggested as great books. 
I admit it’s very well done, but holy heck don’t read it if you are already sensitive to factory farming practices. I couldn’t handle some and fast forwarded, but I feel okay with that since I don’t participate in it.
I must say, it’s much harder to be around my near eating family no, but I really wish they’d read this. At the same time, the title is such that most meat eaters probably won’t read it.

As a vegetarian, this book was very difficult and I had to skip portions and return to them. Foer's arguments have been useful in my conversations with non-vegetarians. If you are looking for a reason to stop eating meat, read this book!
