Like many young Americans, Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. As he became a husband, and then a father, the moral dimensions of eating became increasingly important to him. Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them.
Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill. Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is a book that, in the words of the Los Angeles Times , places Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers."
Jonathan Safran Foer is the author of Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. His books have been translated into thirty-six languages. Everything Is Illuminated received a National Jewish Book Award and a Guardian First Book Award, and was made into a film by Liev Schreiber. Foer lives in Brooklyn.
I learned that what’s the different between factory-farmed meat and traditional farming meat.How inhumane factory farming is to animals from growing to slaughtering, and why we should learn how consumers can influence food industry(we demand more meat with...

评分1,作者把肉食仅仅视作一种传统和习见,却始终没有论证植物在营养上可以完全取代肉蛋奶,是一个逻辑上的大问题。如果茹素将导致人类在营养摄取上的严重不足,人类还是否应该坚决弃食肉类?哪位有这方面的相关研究成果,请不吝赐教。 2,在“杀”这一点上,要求人类对被杀动物...
大写的无聊。。。。
评分就把这当作我食品健康知识的鼻祖吧
评分在法国看完的这本纪实文学。Jonathan以亲身经历描述了现下屠宰行业的种种弊端。那血腥的屠宰场和肮脏的处理方式的确很震撼。。。
评分看过关于屠宰场的纪录片,尝试过吃素,然而最终对肉类的贪欲战胜了心底愧疚的部分。偶尔会虚伪地劝说自己,毕竟是在知道残酷恶心的真相之后做出的选择,总比刻意的不闻不问好些。但其实有意识的选择又能如何,最终刻在骨子的执念根本无法破除,本质就是恶与残忍。
评分作者做了大量采访调研,关于食肉食素,关于某些动物比其他动物更“平等”,更重要的,关于产业化农业(factory farming)和家庭式畜牧业(family farming)。继而批判产业化农业:从虐待动物无视动物权益,到产生不健康(抗生素、卫生问题、长期室内)不幸福的肉类(甚至“有机” “无笼”都做不到真正的不虐待动物),到危及到全球变暖等重要生态问题。批判了资本主义的消费文化,探讨了人性与动物性。饮食涉及到文化、社交和自我定位认同,而肉类工业化生产模式涉及到政治与经济。作者的饮食哲学,应有意识的(而不是很容易的无意识的)选择自己的食物——因为饮食涉及到家庭、社交,它影响到自我也可能影响到更深远的层面。了解我们的食物,了解我们自身。
