The Face on Your Plate: The Truth about Food Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Great up to date book where I learned much about fish farming and eating vegan. "

" I appreciated the author's psychoanalytic perspective, particularly his discussion of denial. Like Mr. Moussaieff Masson, I think those who consume animals are not completely ignorant of ethical, environmental and societal issues relating to a 'carnivorous' diet. It seems to me (and to many others, including the author) that if we (both individuals and society as a whole) were to acknowledge the exploitation and destruction related to animal consumption, it would be far more difficult to swallow myths such as "humane slaughter," "free-range hens" or "sustainable seafood." A worthy read for anyone interested in animal rights, vegetarianism, veganism and the philosophical and psychological factors related to these topics. "

" Kinda strange book. Not sure what the ultimate point was, other than animals have feelings too. I admit, I skimmed the chapter on fish and their feelings. Don't recommend. "

" This book is not too enlightening if you have already read The Omnivore's Dilemma, or any other book that looks at what we eat. While I think the author has a valid lifestyle to promote (I am vegetarian), his argument loses might when he uses overly passionate and borderline inflammatory language to try to win support to his views. The author doesn't seem to get that using that approach will lose more people than win. "

" I learned a lot about slaughterhouses and other animal conditions before they are killed for food. I liked the chapters having to do with nutrition and lifestyle more than the information about animals' feelings. i did not like the chapter on "Denial" at all. "

" Great book. Fresh perspective. You will never think of animals in the same way. "

" A book everyone should read "

" This book is informative, insightful, and a little hokey. We should, however, all think about the living thing that once was ... on our plate(s). "

" generally like all of Masson's books, even if I don't agree with every detail, he makes very compelling arguments. "

" I am not going to become a vegan. "

" I just got this today. I'm super excited about it!! "

" Interesting points of view about becoming vegan or at least vegetarian but I found the writing hard to follow. Author rambled on frequently and did not stay on topic. "

" This book was hard to read. I basically felt he was trying to convert people to be vegans. It was okay in general but didn't hold my interest long enough to finish. I did skip to the last chapter "

" I think everyone who is borderline vegetarian/ vegan should read this book. It is brutally honest and I loved that. "

" may have inspired me to become a vegetarian. I don't eat much meat anyway, but I really became fully aware of how bad it is for the environment. "

" Very powerful book. Inspired me to go back to being vegetarian, and I also want to look into veganism, or find a way to only drink more ethical milk. "

" Great work, an eye-opener. "

" Wow...very eye opening. The first time I am truly considering vegetarianism. "

" A book everyone should read "

" Anyone who cares about animals should read this book and everyone should know where their food comes from and how its produced! "

" The prose isn't sparkling, but the author's humanity shines. "

" Well, this book will certainly make you think. And I felt guilty when I had a glass of milk and bacon & eggs for my nerxt meal. "

" generally like all of Masson's books, even if I don't agree with every detail, he makes very compelling arguments. "
