Book Review: The Ethics of What We Eat

The Ethics of What We Eat, by Peter Singer and Jim Mason, is one of my FAVORITE books of all time. It was actually my dad who recommended it to me, and it has basically shaped the way I eat. In contrast to the Omnivore's Dilemma, this book sucks you in by getting straight to the facts. If you saw the documentary "Food, Inc." and liked learning about food issues, this is a great way to go deeper. Some topics covered: the hidden cost of cheap chicken, veganism, "animal care certified" eggs, Niman Ranch bacon, fair trade, and eating locally. Whether you're a food know-it-all or would rather not know where your food came from, it's all about gaining knowledge. I give it an A+!
