MUST READ: "The Moral Ferocity of Eating Animals" by Dr. Andrew WeilFor anyone in favor of the elimination of factory farms, here's a great review on Eating Animals, Jonathan Safran Foer's new book, that was recently featured at The Huffington Post. In the review, Dr. Andrew Weil offers a terrific overview of a book that reminds us just how inhumane these operations can be. As editor in chief Pilar Gerasimo stated in a Facebook post, "I predict a dramatic rise in plant-based eating will ensue ..." Here's a short excerpt: It is a rare human act that is utterly reprehensible. Some glimmer of grace, some hope for redemption shines through nearly all of our efforts. And then, Jonathan Safran Foer reminds us in his new book, Eating Animals, there is factory farming of living creatures. Perhaps you have seen the film Food, Inc. Maybe you have read the works of Michael Pollan. You may have heard of confined veal calves pumped full of antibiotics and collapsing in their own excrement; or seen the video of bushels of baby chicks, alive and cheeping, dumped into a grinder. Almost certainly, you have heard something about the terrible ways that we now treat farm animals in America, and you didn't like what you heard.
