Jonathan SAFRAN Foer's book food animals is carefully researched, balanced and well written book. However, I have my prejudices to admit. Not knowingly 18 years ate the meat or animal products as a vegan has (or is it 17?) (Without actually count back and check I remember yet never so let's just say a very long time) för is admittedly the choir in my case preach. I wanted to read the book, though, because I wanted to know what he to say what his take on the matter had was and how he transfer of the terrible facts approached. I had to find out what he was saying, so I could say people read his book or to say the book is how disappointing in representing the cause. Read this book especially if you eat animals.
För frightens away from the big questions. Why do people eat animals? Why aren't some animals and others okay to eat? For example, are dogs your thoughts about what to eat? If you think cringe, why? What makes one different from food, a cow, pig, fish, chicken dog food?All of you are animals, all of them feel pain and all of you have a sometimes surprising intelligence (did you know fish pass on to younger generations?).Why people who say you care about the environment and animals still say it's held in appalling conditions animals okay to eat animals when, in the United States, about 99% of all meat from a factory farm (even the organic and free range varieties) is where, are regularly abused, pumped up with antibiotics and other drugs, and then under conditions so inhuman that you are alive, how you are being slaughtered, skinned, thrown in scalding water vats.
Environmental toll factory farms is enormous. Who lives close to pig farms are constantly sick. If a person in a waste lagoon, you die in a few minutes.Animal waste of factory farms is not required by law, treatment, waste is how human and it very often if not oozes verschmutzt.Am in soil and water and the surrounding area most, all the meat that comes from a factory farm in feces is even if you can't see it. And people who have a 24 hours stomach bug/flu actually suffering food poisoning.
If that is enough for a person's health is a global disease threat as a result of intensive livestock not threatening. Not only are there resistant diseases due to the use of the drug in animals antibiotics, springing up to worry about the flu. You remember the swine flu? The virus first Mexico display.It first appeared in the United States in a factory pig Bauernhof.Schweine flu and bird flu can and jump species and the swine flu, if I remember it correctly from the book am, began as a bird flu, probably jumped back then recombined before jumping to pigs where it again recombined and jumped to a person to man. This version of swine flu was bad, but it was not as bad as it could have been. It is with another recombined virus happen again and next time we might not be so lucky.
Of course also för takes us animal husbandry and slaughterhouses within. There were times while I read, I had a hard time hold back the tears. I wanted to skip ahead, I don't need to read this I needed not to "see". But I forced myself to read further because I wanted to know, and I able to talk to people about it the animals to eat because everyone needs to know wanted.
Foer has been a special vegetarian because his research for this book and his wife and young son are also vegetarian. I would be curious to know why he didn't go vegan. Although I am already on Foer's side, he me challenge through questions how somehow, that eat no meat can I sit at a table with others who do? He suggests that even if you vegetarian / vegan that are silence about the facts of eating animals in your suffering brings even if you don't eat. This is true in a way. Since I became vegan I was concerned about the in-your-face people.I was and am uncomfortable with it, but I wanted also to the people, the animals that uncomfortable thought to essen.Ich that is an example and polite questions was enough. But not enough is silent in view of the global environmental and health effects. It is kind of like a smoker in a room with a bunch of smokers. I can not smoke, but I'm in the secondhand smoke breathing. I can't eat animals, but I'm affected by the conditions created by those who do.
One of my coworkers, a vegetarian is to read this book and we had a talk recently about how to handle people to talk to eat the animals for their decisions. För talk his book about Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving closes because next week, we asked, what if we sat is a dinner that had a large Turkey in the middle of the table and we started talking about the horrible life of the disease and suffering that Turkey hatte.Ich don't think we would win all converts.In fact I think it didn't exist a lot of anger and rage at Tisch.Ich white, what he white Foer in his personal life with the people, but to write the book was a way he says it's not silent could be vegetarian.Well I am not a book to write.This post is a way to not mention, but I doubt, you would come back whenever all I was ever blogged about how terrible food animals.I must find some other way and stop to worry about my pet food friends making uncomfortable.
I have gone, and it's time to close.But I'll leave you, with this "food for thought:"
Avid reader and Halden books and soon librarian.If we ever serious about ending factory farms, then the absolute least we can do stop controls send the absolute worst offender. for some, the decision to the factory will avoid agricultural products. others the decision is simply one hard. for those that for the crucial question whether it is worth the Unannehmlichkeiten.Wir know whom it like a tough decision that sounds (I would have counted me in this group), at least, that this decision will help to prevent deforestation, curb global warming, save reduction of environmental pollution, oil reserves reduce the burden of rural America to reduce, improving public health violations of human rights and help, we do not know the most systematic abuse in world history to beseitigen.Was sein.Wie can be just as important would make such a decision we change?
