Eating Animals Jonathan Safran Foer Books

This book is a must for anyone curious about the meat/dairy industry and all the things that go on in these industries that they try to keep under wraps.

Jonathan Safran Foer does a wonderful job of remaining objective throughout the book; he doesn’t try to persuade anyone to do anything, but rather simply shares the facts he finds out.

I was required to read this book for a class I took in college, but I’m glad I read it – I’m a vegetarian and this book was part of the reason why I chose to become one.

Even if you’re convinced you’ll never give up meat or dairy, this book is still an important read to shed light on the goings-on of the meat and dairy industries. I would highly recommend it.

Eating Animals Jonathan Safran Foer Books Reviews

We are a species with our collective heads in the sand. We don't want to think about what goes on at the mass slaughter facilities. Why don't we take our children to watch animals being harvested if there is nothing to be ashamed of? We take them to harvest strawberries. It's because we know that it's wrong. Foer makes us look. What he shows us should make us disgusted to belong to a species that tolerates and encourages mass suffering and cruelty.
This definitely pushed me over to the vegan side of the fence, after being on the fence for so long. Foer doesn't argue against eating meat entirely, he argues against eating "farmed" meat. Even if you support eating meat, this is a terrific book, as you should know the conditions under which the creatures whose flesh you consume live.
Caution to the faint-hearted this book is graphic because it is honest and real. If you prefer to remain ignorant (sarcasm), you may want to avoid it. Besides airing what takes place behind your ground beef, the author does a great job at remaining as unbiased as possible. Offering a lot of accounts from different individuals who work and live in the middle of factory farming, ranging from executives to farmers. I felt so passionate about family owned and operated farm mentioned in the reading, I actually reached out to thank them. This book really pulls at your heart strings with hard to stomach facts. In my opinion, it's disturbing that the majority of people are completely unaware of the contents of this book.
Eating Animals doesn't convince readers to not eat meat, dairy, or fish, but is framed around three ideas that our farming practices have become increasingly unethical, harmful to our environment, and dangerous to our bodies. His empathetic ways of showing these unapologetic truths, along with his witty sense of humor, lets even the most close-minded people enjoy this book. There are intense and grotesque descriptions of turkey, beef, egg, pork, and fish farming, but they're important. We see from this book the main point factory farms have taken over our food industry and are awful in numerous ways to humans and animals. With Foer's vivid descriptions, enjoyable narrations, and humor, I recommended this book to meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. It's not preachy, but makes a controversial topic that many of us turn our heads to something so impactful. He includes letters from factory farmers and descriptions of his own three year investigation, and we are learning right along with him in an entertaining and capturing way.
I’ve owned “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer for years, but it’s remained on my shelf, staring down on me with judgement like Big Brother’s mustached poster. The fear was I’d never be able to eat meat again once I read it, and the fear may be justified—I haven’t had meat since starting it. The book is not a vegetarian diatribe against carnivores, and I have no problem with humans eating animals. The idea of a cow putzing around a pasture for a few years and dying instantly from a bolt to the brain never thrilled me, but it seemed no crueler than the deaths nature delivers. Only problem is, that’s fiction. I guess I was naive, but I didn’t realize 99% of all meat is now from factory farms, which are so disgusting they don’t even let journalists inside. Maybe part of getting older is realizing that it’s impossible to live a life without causing others to suffer.
