Publisher Description

A thought-provoking look at how what we eat profoundly effects all living things and the environment—and how we can make healthful, more humane food choices.

"A great and thought-provoking look at current food issues from the perspective of three families -- one that lives in Arkansas and shops at Wal-Mart, one that lives in the Nertheast and shops at Trader Joe's and farmer's markets, and one that lived in Kansas and keep a vegan household. Unlike other recent books on food issues, this one does not shy away from the moral issues that surround the decision to eat factory-farmed meat. No doubt because Peter Singer is a co-author."

    " I read this book for a class I was taking. It made me aware of all the different things we need to consider when taking that first bite. Do I change my ways and try to eat more ethically or put blinders on and continue on the path I have been on? "
