eat animals?

"I did not know" - we can no longer . Say "That is I do not care" - we would have to say, if we continue to buy meat from factory farms.

That would give me after reading the book "Eating animals" - "eating animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer difficult, however. The author gathers not only impressive background, as was agriculture to agro-industry in recent decades, and farms degenerated into soulless industrial equipment of factory farming: "No Entry" -

It also shows that animals have just as Inputs to be seen as commodities that have to be to market quickly and profitably. Ethical aspects considered by its position as strange. And although in countries - emphasize their Christian tradition, where pets are pampered and spoiled, where more money is spent on pet food for the world hunger relief - at least in Christmas speech. While animals for farming are bred to run, they can hardly.

What have we become accustomed to? What is social now "normal"? That battles for martyrdom is for animals to a small percentage - but the means hundreds of thousands per year - alive through the slaughter process, until they have died in agony. Not to mention the workers in these slaughter houses that are under inhuman conditions to members of a sophisticated killing machine - so it is cheap to the table, our Sunday chop.

Foer makes many different positions to speak: the meat producers, the poultry farmers, the developer of slaughterhouses, the vegan diet is a member of the animal rights organization PETA vegetarian cattle breeder. He can tell by their decisions and developments, their experiences and moral conflict. Thus, any reader can even take a picture. And Foer has meticulously researched - such as the avian and swine influenza have emerged, where the dangers of factory farming are, medically, environmentally, economically. He is entered at night in the stables, which are hermetically sealed and guarded - and is always asking: What should in these stalls do not see it then? Or: what we gain when the banquet a turkey on our table is? He lets us share his own doubts and thoughts that were triggered by the birth of his son.

determine if we need to ensure that industrial farming has turned into animal cruelty, how can we avoid the question he is, what you have done, than you have to know the truth about eating animals? For we have in our daily shopping, the choice whether we buy products of factory farming or not and whether this increase merit and power of this sector - or not.
