Первая и пока единственная работа любимого автора в жанре документальной прозы. Дж.С.Фоер поднимает вопрос о правах животных, производстве мяса и рыбы, об употреблении оных с точки зрения культуры, здоровья и эстетики. Книга будет особенно интересна вегетарианцам и веганам:
"animal agriculture makes a 40% greater contribution to global warming than all transportation in the world combined; it is the number one cause of climate change"
"...it is clear that vegetarians and vegans tend to have more optimal protein consumption than omnivores"
"well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for all individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes".
