As a person who used to be vegan but is know on an omnivorous diet, this book is incredibly hard to read. I keep putting it aside and grabbing for something less emotionally and morally challenging but then I grab it again because I want to know what I’m doing. He also writes so beautifully that the book is such a dichotomous experience, painful to come to terms with what meat means but also an addictive read that keeps calling me back. I read a chapter of this and then a chapter of Michael Pollan’s Omnivores Dilemma and I hope to come out of the end of this year of food exploration with a clear decision for the future. . . . . . #eatinganimals #jonathansafranfoer #michaelpollan #omnivoresdilemma #vegan #omnivore #vegetarian #factoryfarming #crueltyfree #sustainability #sustainableliving #fatvegan #exvegan #veganism #food #foodie #foodlover #foodstagram #book #booklover #books #foodbooks #socialjustice #foodchoices #foodethics #bookstagram #foodstagrammer #bookstagrammer (at Jennings Lodge, Oregon)
