Dieren eten

por Jonathan Safran Foer

Resumen

Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between omnivore and vegetarian. But on the brink of fatherhood-facing the prospect of having to make dietary choices on a child's behalf-his casual questioning took on an urgency His quest for answers ultimately required him to visit factory farms in the middle of the night, dissect the emotional ingredients of meals from his childhood, and probe some of his most primal instincts about right and wrong. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir and his own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting. Marked by Foer's profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, Everything is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, widely loved, Eating Animals is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we've told-and the stories we now need to tell.

This book is a several years of research put together. Very eye opening and inspiring. Just as the author says in the beginning of the book: it is not meant to force anyone into not eating animals or animal products. It is simply a book that looks at the fact of eating animals from all possible perspectives, all backed up by research data: from the philosophical p.o.v., from p.o.v. of nutrition, environmental, ethical, and many more. Very good read and highly recommended!
