Jonathan Safran Foer, a child, spent Saturday and Sunday with his grandmother. When he arrived, she raised the air squeezing in a big hug, and he himself did when he went on. It was not just affection, his: the back was the constant worry of knowing that his nephew had eaten enough. The concern of those who almost died of hunger during the war, but was able to reject the pork that would have given this life because food was not kosher, because "if nothing matters, there is nothing to save '. The food she is not just food, it is "terror, dignity, gratitude, revenge, joy, humiliation, religion, history and, of course, love."
Once you become a father, Foer remembers this teaching and began to question what is the meat, why not feed her child how to feed himself, is more important. This book is the result of an investigation that lasted almost three years brought in factory farms, also visited in the middle of the night that led them to talk about the violence and animal poison treatments based on drugs that must undergo , to describe how they are killed to become our daily bread.
TRIALS
"The daily horrors of intensive farming are told so vividly ... that anyone, after reading the book, Foer, continued to consume industrial products should be heartless or without reason." JM Coetzee
