“I love sushi, I love fried chicken, I love steak. But there is a limit to my love.”

A worthwhile exploration by someone who loves meat into what the true cost is to us; the animals; and to the planet.

Should be mandatory reading for high schools everywhere.

Eating Animals

A great argument against factory farming. This book is full of facts and anecdotes from farmers. An insightful read. Highly recommend.

Interesting but repetitive

Interesting information and story overall, but very America-centric with limited exploration of how animals might be raised and farmed in other countries. The philosophical arguments had been made many times before and were quite repetitive and boring.
