Eating Animals is a riveting expose which presents the gut-wrenching truth about the price paid by the environment, the government, the Third World and the animals themselves in order to put meat on our tables more quickly and conveniently than ever before.Interweaving a variety of monologues and balancing humour and suspense with informed rationalism, Eating Animals is as much a novelistic account of an intellectual journey as it is a fresh and open look at the ethical debate around meat-eating. Unlike most other books on the subject, Eating Animals also explores the possibilites for those who do eat meat to do so more responsibly, making this an important book not just for vegetarians, but for anyone who is concerned about the ramifications and significance of their chosen lifestyle.

Review of 'Eating animals' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This was a very informative and well written book. It's actually one of the few non-fiction books I have been able to read without feeling like I am going to die of boredom. If you have friends who are vegetarian or vegan and want to know reasons other than 'animals have feelings too' this book is for you. It covers the environmental, ethical and social fronts of vegetarianism in the best way I have ever encountered. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is able to read!
