Just finished Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's a look at humans' relationship with animals with regards to eating them. I'm a little disappointed with the book. It's personal and subjective, and while he doesn't exactly hide the fact, he doesn't discuss it either - and the book comes across as more factual than it really is - I think that's a problem. Foer has written it with the basic assumption that killing animals for eating is wrong and bad, which I don't agree with (though I do think modern meat production and processing is problematic) and most 'arguments' are more emotional than rational. I don't like that - it makes me feel manipulated. I had expected something more balanced.
