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.

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.
