Acclaimed novelist Jonathan Safran Foer grew up being and on-again, off-again vegetarian. But when his first child was born, he decided he need to pay more attention to food and what was healthful for his son. The result of that quest is his book, Eating Animals.
Foer specifically examines the practice of factory farming and what that means for our health as took many animals are forced into cramped quarters, becoming diseased, fed garbage and drugs, and then killed in inhumane and unsanitary ways. (He is extremely thorough in his documentation of these facts.)
Foer was convinced that he could no longer eat animals for the sake of his own health, not to mention the cruelty inflicted upon the animals. Read his book, see if you’re willing to sacrifice your health and the health of your children. And then consider the suffering of the animals.
