Eating Animals is a must read!. The author approached this subject with candor, facts and from different viewpoints. I was amazed, surprised and disgusted at how greed has wreaked our environment, animals and people. My family eats meat and seems to be afraid to read this book or think about how eating meat supports factory farming. People are defensive about eating meat and say there are two sides to every story. Somehow, it has been planted in peoples brains that vegans and vegetarians do not get enough protein! I think that people eat irresponsibly and without much thought. This is one more area where they don't feel they can effect a change. I was a vegetarian and after reading this book, I gave up dairy and eat no animal products at all. People ask is it hard? No, for me it is an easy choice and not difficult to live with. I think if more people knew what was in their food and where it came from, factory farming would be gone. If my family chooses to eat meat, then the most responsible thing I can do is find a family farmer to get their food from. (I served my husband Gardein 'chicken' and he did not know the difference). If you are thinking of going meatless, look into Tal Ronnen's cookbooks.

This book will change your perspective. This book changed the way I look at meat and the way I've been eating meat. Whenever the idea of eating meat from factory farms comes into discussion with family and friends I will recommend that they read this book. This book won't make you vegan but it will make you question the ways in which you eat and ethically obtain meat. Thank you for writing this book

Life changing. This book changed my life forever!

A book full of facts. If its as terrible as you say then why are we still eating animals ? Is taste really that important? Why should I give up eating my favorite food, the one my mom first made it for me? How does thanksgiving without turkey even make any sense? Is it fair to deprive my kid from the meat or make that choice for her? Is my omnivore friend ignorant or simply does not know the facts? Are animal farms really that bad considering the fact that they are feeding the word by producing cheap meat? Is consuming milk and eggs as bas as consuming meat? How about fish or shrimp, do they suffer? Read this book even if you are not a vegan! at least have your facts and make an educated decision when it gets to what you chose to eat!

I agree, but disagree. I agree that factory farming is cruel. But I wouldn't become vegetarian over it. Instead, I consume animal products that come from better sources like real farms and that the animals are 100% free ranged, naturally raised and organic with no added growth hormones which the author of this book probably never thought of. I believe most people who are against eating meat tent to forget that our ancestors had to survive by eating meat to put us where we are right now and that its in our natural instinct to consume meat because animals eat other animals too and they even eat humans, so why can't we be part of the food chain? I believe it's an honest way of life and I believe in fairness.

Amazing. This book is outstanding.

Good Read. Easy to read and reinforces that we should be considering our whole family when we are choosing what we eat. It affects more than our immediate health it affects farmers and the wider community.

Disappointing overall; bad for iBooks. First, it's worth noting that the author wrote this as a dead-trees book. He makes references to the physical size of the book and elements in it, and there are long passages of italics and line art from the printed book that translate poorly into an iBook. Contentwise, as impressive as the facts and research are, the book is disorganized and goes in too many different directions--philosophy tome, animal rights screed, memoir, textbook--and it ends up being jumbled and repetitive. The worst aspect of the book is that even though I'm sympathetic to or in agreement with the author's conclusions, the logic to get there is absent. The book just doesn't make the connections, but instead offers some fancy language and strained reasoning. It also tries to have it both ways by asserting more than once that humans and animals are different, but then personifying the latter with human traits and making assumptions based on what humans do. I admire what the author set out to do and I really wanted to like the book, but it just wasn't very good. If you've read books like Michael Pollan's and seen documentaries like Food Inc., you don't need to read this book; and if you haven't checked out those others ... well, they cover the subject matter better.

Waste of time. Had to read for a food class was terrible

Eating Animals. I found 'Eating Animals' truly provocative, inspiring and informative. It is a major contribution to the awakening and hearing of the human heart. I am so grateful that I discovered it.

Eye-opening. Thanks go to this author for the tremendous amount of truth he spilled all over the "e-pages" (?) of this book! This will change how you look at dinner...

Amazingly! You can't ignore this book!. The book is well balanced between fact, personal reflection and the horrifying look into factory farming. Don't be afraid, it won't turn you into a vegetarian, but it will make you think about eating less meat. Since 99% of all meat is factory farmed, eating less of it is a step towards a healthier you, a healthier planet and a few less suffering animals.

Premium. This book has changed my life..

Powerful book. One of the most thought provoking books I have read in a long time.

Amazing!. I have been struggling witht he decision to convert to being vegetarian, this book was a great resource. The author presents the research in an informative, but interesting way. It contains Foer's personal insight which makes it in no way like a textbook or formal resource. Great for making informed choices about eating.

A moral and ethical focus on factory farming. Though not his intention, Safran Foer converted me to life-long vegetarianism with his exposé-style writings and vibrant descriptions. Eating Animals gave me a new set of eyes through which to see the world, shining a spotlight on the senseless sufferings and violence wrought throughout the meat industry. If you've ever questioned the process by which your slab of steak gets from the farm to the plate, you must read this book.

Brilliant!. This book is incredible. Brilliantly written and most importantly eye opening for every person that reads it. Every single person on the planet should read this book!

5/5 stars. A very informative and eye-opening book. I have learned so much about the food we eat from reading this book. I feel differently towards my food now because I now know what it has been through to get to the supermarket. Reading this book has inspired me to make changes in my diet.

Eating animals. Fantastic book. Are you allowed to say that this book could change your life? Great read highly recommend it to anyone interested in compassion.
