Brilliant book. The author weaves the factual with the human narrative expertly, dealing with the role meat plays in our lives while looking at why this can and must change.

Although I'm a vegetarian now, this book is not about turning you into one but more about giving you the proper information so you can make the correct decision for yourself foodwise. I think it is a must read, everyone should what they are actually eating.
