Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

challenging emotional informative inspiring sad medium-paced

5.0

A vegetarian for the last 10 years, I had always thought vegans were kinda silly. I mean, eggs and milk, they don't require you to kill an animal, right? So eating it was okay. But at the same time I knew there might be something horrible that I didn't know about, and I avoided learning. I was already doing so much more than the people around me; surely it was enough to cover the little (if any) suffering birds and cows had to endure to give me these tasty things.

The book told me: you a giving money to the people who torture birds and cows. Look at these scenes of pain and suffering and think if you want to be a part of this.

Well, that is an easy decision, when you put it like this.
