Though I haven't been able to surf the Internet that much recently, I have found it difficult to avoid discussion of Foer's book. In fact, both books glorify small farms (though Foer is more selective), and both have the support of people who create and kill animals. Tags: Books Ethics. That has to be good, I tell myself.

None of those approve of a vegan diet and all it took was one conversation, and me hearing that "they have to eat meat" from people who believe people "have to eat meat" to know that the issue wasn't ever going to be resolved. Tags: Books Current Affairs Ethics Food and Drink Gray Matters.

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. Also, if, like me, you know someone who appreciates the things we do with language to mask the reality of our behavior, this is a great book. Not great, but good.

Its goal was to limit the greedy collecting of birds killed for the plume trade, the bird meat trade (as in the wholesale slaughter of the Passenger Pigeon), and for sport (again, the Passenger Pigeon and declining numbers of waterfowl).
