I had begun and stoppped reading this book several times before now. Glad I finished. Safran Foer structures the book somewhat disjointedly. Readers of his fiction won't find that strange, but for a non-fiction book that is (at least on some level) making an argument that he hopes will convince others... it seemed a little strange. On to the content, though. The book could be retitled "The Case Against Factory Farming," and in this he succeeds with all pistons firing. It seems hard to me to see how the case can be made to support such practices, and the fact that I have personally been able to ignore or forget a lot of it says something about how disconnected I am (dare I say 'we'?) from the systems and the processes and the industries that produce food. I liked that Safran Foer isn't afraid to complicate the argument. This book isn't just a straightforward slam-dunk case for veganism, though following certain parts to their logical conclusions might be such. The alternatives to factory farming that he highlights are so small-scale that it's hard to see how they are anything outside interesting edge and exception cases. Also, the fact that the practices of the US meat industry (where many of the commonplace practices were begun) are now spreading to other parts of the world -- China, India and Europe -- makes the bits of the book about factory farming the most important, I felt. To me, a lot of it came down to this quote: "Whether we’re talking about fish species, pigs, or some other eaten animal, is such suffering the most important thing in the world? Obviously not. But that’s not the question. Is it more important than sushi, bacon, or chicken nuggets? That’s the question." Safran Foer -- in an attempt to make the book readable, I'm guessing -- leaves out a bunch of side issues relating to our eating animals, most notably things relating to human labour and the environment, but it's tough to write books and this one already does a lot.
