About This Book
"Stirring...compelling....Foer brings an
invigorating moral clarity to the topic." (Entertainment Weekly )
"Eating Animals isn't just an anti-meat screed, or an impassioned case
for vegetarianism. Instead, Foer tells a story that is part memoir and
part investigative report....It's a book that takes America's
meat-dominated diet to task." (NPR, All Things Considered )
"Foer's aim is not to make your choice, but to inform it. He has done us
all a great service, and we, and the animals, owe him our thanks."
(Andrew Weil, MD )
"Foer's case for ethical vegetarianism is wholly compelling....Eating
Animals is a blend of solid-and discomforting-reportage with fierce
advocacy that will make committed carnivores squeal." (Kirkus Reviews )
"A work of moral philosophy....The fact that Foer makes me wonder
whether I'm being, at best, a hypocrite every time I eat a piece of beef
suggests he's completely successful in at least one ambition." (San
Francisco Chronicle )
"Extraordinarily thoughtful and intelligent." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch )
"Eating Animals stands as a pop-cultural landmark, destined to be the
starting point for a lot of overdue conversations." (Philadelphia Daily
News )
"For a hot young writer to train his sights on a subject as unpalatable
as meat production and consumption takes raw nerve. What makes Eating
Animals so unusual is vegetarian Foer's empathy for human meat eaters,
his willingness to let both factory farmers and food reform activists
speak for themselves, and his talent for using humor to sweeten a sour
argument." (O, The Oprah Magazine)
Description
Like many young Americans, Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his
teenage and college years oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and
occasional vegetarian. As he became a husband, and then a father, the
moral dimensions of eating became increasingly important to him. Faced
with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and
not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating
traditions and the fictions involved with creating them.
Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the
unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and
every burger we grill. Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating
Animals is a book that, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, places
Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers."
