Foer's aim is not to make your choice, but to inform it. He has done us all a great service, and we, and the animals, owe him our thanks., "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, "The latest from novelist Foer is a surprising but characteristically brilliant memoir-investigation, boasting an exhaustively-argued account of one man-child's decade-long struggle with vegetarianism... 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 Animals isn't just an anti-meat screed, or an impassioned case for vegetarianism. Instead, Foer tells a story that is part memoir and part investigative report....It's a book that takes America's meat-dominated diet to task., " Eating Animals stands as a pop-cultural landmark, destined to be the starting point for a lot of overdue conversations." -- Philadelphia Daily News, "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, 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., For a hot young writer to train his sights on a subject as unpalatable as meat production and consumption takes raw nerve. What makes Eating Animals so unusual is vegetarian Foer's empathy for human meat eaters, his willingness to let both factory farmers and food reform activists speak for themselves, and his talent for using humor to sweeten a sour argument., For a hot young writer to train his sights on a subject as unpalatable as meat production and consumption takes raw nerve. What makesEating Animalsso unusual is vegetarian Foer's empathy for human meat eaters, his willingness to let both factory farmers and food reform activists speak for themselves, and his talent for using humor to sweeten a sour argument., "Foer's case for ethical vegetarianism is wholly compelling....A blend of solid--and discomforting--reportage with fierce advocacy that will make committed carnivores squeal."-- Kirkus Reviews, " Eating Animals isn't just an anti-meat screed, or an impassioned case for vegetarianism. Instead, Foer tells a story that is part memoir and part investigative report....It's a book that takes America's meat-dominated diet to task."-- NPR, All Things Considered, Foer's aim is not to make your choice, but to inform it.

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, 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., "Stirring...compelling, earnest....Foer brings an invigorating moral clarity to the topic."-- Entertainment Weekly, "A postmodern version of Peter Singer's 1975 manifesto Animal Liberation .... Foer is the latest in a long line of distinguished literary vegetarians."-- Jennifer Schuessler , New York Times Book Review, Foer's case for ethical vegetarianism is wholly compelling.... Eating Animals is a blend of solid-and discomforting-reportage with fierce advocacy that will make committed carnivores squeal.

Synopsis
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., Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is a groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name.

- j***2 (60)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificada☆☆☆ Seller. Is not the picture of actual recieved item. Listing photo was pulled from internet and used as placeholder, according to sellers listing. Thats on me for buying the cheapest one without looking at listing fully. Would have been better to not use another persons photo on seller's listing as the specific guide book advertised has reflective bits, the one i recieved did not.. At least it arrived and is decent enough to use and look at. Packed ok. Shipped promptly. Thank you.
- k***i (36)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaFantastic price, faster shipping than expected, item as described. However, packaging was a thin plastic envelope instead of bubble/ cardboard. Book arrived new yet slightly damaged. Not worth asking for a return due to the very low price, yet would suggest to seller/ future buyers to have better packaging for shipping. Thanks.
- e***u (4501)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaWell the stock photo was just that, a stock photo and the item did not include the other material shown, which I had asked about. A chance you take. Otherwise, in good shape, shipped promptly, plastic bag envelope (nothing wrong with that for the price, but subject to beatings by the PO dolts. Yes, i will still buy from them if the price is reasonable.
