Product Information
Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is the groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name. Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. For years he was content to live with uncertainty about his own dietary choices but once he started a family, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly important. 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" -and a must-read for anyone who cares about building a more humane and healthy world.

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."-- Geoff Nicholson , San Francisco Chronicle, "Foer's book raises critical ethical questions we all need to face....We shouldn't be polluting the planet to satisfy our appetites."-- Huffington Post, "Extraordinarily Thoughtful and Intelligent.", For a hot young writer to train his sights on a subject as unpalatable as meat production and consumption takes raw nerve.

Without pulling any punches--factory farming is given the full expose treatment--Foer combines an array of facts, astutely-written anecdotes, and his furious, inward-spinning energy to make a personal, highly entertaining take on an increasingly visible...moral question; call it, perhaps, An Omnivore's Dilemma ."-- Publishers Weekly, "Eating Animalsstands as a pop-cultural landmark, destined to be the starting point for a lot of overdue conversations.", " 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.

Foer, 32, in this, his first work of nonfiction, intrepidly joins their ranks....It is the kind of wisdom that, in all its humanity and clarity, deserves a place at the table with our greatest philosophers."-- Susan Salter Reynolds , Los Angeles Times, "Stirring...compelling, earnest....Foer brings an invigorating moral clarity to the topic."-- Entertainment Weekly, Eating Animalsstands as a pop-cultural landmark, destined to be the starting point for a lot of overdue conversations., Foer's case for ethical vegetarianism is wholly compelling....
