Dalla quarta di copertina

EATING ANIMALS is a riveting exposé which presents the gut-wrenching truth about the price paid by the environment, the government, the Third World and the animals themselves in order to put meat on our tables more quickly and conveniently than ever before.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Eating Animals is a uniquely passionate, powerful and provocative exploration of what we eat and why. It is both a personal quest which goes to the very heart of what it means to be human and a riveting exposé of the horrors and dangers of factory farming.
