Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

5.0

This book is absolutely awesome. Not only does Jonathan Safran Foer write glorious fictional stories, he also portray the animal industry from multiple different perspectives - all of which will make you question your food choices. I had been a vegetarian for 6 years when I read this book (constantly ducking my vegan friend's comments on my consumption of dairy & eggs... not wanting to see the truth), and this book painted the truth loud and clear for me. Half thru I went vegan over night and now, almost 5 years later, I can not thank him enough. It was indeed one of the best decisions I've made. When the facts about the animal industry is presented in such a direct and clear way you can not duck it any longer. The truth hurts, but Jonathan Safran Foer presents it for us with compassion.
