5.0 out of 5 stars Want to know what you're eating?, March 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal factories (Hardcover)

I bought this book years ago and became a vegetarian after seeing how horribly the animals are treated and how wasteful meat production is. I don't think there is anything worse than closing your eyes to what really goes on just so you don't have to take action and possibly change your lifestyle. This book will open your eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and many pictures, December 1, 1999

This review is from: Animal Factories (Paperback)

This book really opened my eyes to the conditions in which animals are being raised. Not only is it inhumane to the animals, but it is contaminating OUR food. It has many pictures, which I like, being a visual person. Read this book and you will find it very educational.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book that made me become a vegetarian, June 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal Factories (Paperback)

When I was first exploring the issue of eating meat vs. becoming vegetarian, a friend recommended this book. Mason and Singer look inside the world of modern factory farming, providing an unsentimental look at the reality behind your dinner. Even those who don't give a damn about animals and their suffering will be alarmed at the information concerning what's in animal feed and the conditions in meat production. An eye-opener.
