For a large portion of his life, Jonathan Safran Foer alternated between being an ardent carnivore and an infrequent vegetarian. His interest in the moral implications of eating grew once he had a family.
Fearing that we would never be able to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to investigate the myths that surround the origins of numerous eating customs. By delving into the murkiest nooks of our eating customs, Foer explores the unsaid question that lies beneath each piece of fish we consume, each fried chicken, and each grilled burger.
Eating Animals is a book that, according quote the Los Angeles Times, puts Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers." It is part memoir and half investigative report.
