Description

Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. Once he began a circle of relatives, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly more necessary.
Faced with the prospect of being unable to give an explanation for why we eat some animals and not others, Foer got down 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 in the back of each and every fish we eat, each and every chicken we fry, and each and every burger we grill.
Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is a book that, within the words of the Los Angeles Times, places Jonathan Safran Foer “on the table with our greatest philosophers.”
