Wie viele junge Menschen schwankte der Autor lange zwischen enthusiastischem Fleischgenuss und Vegetariertum hin und her. Als Familienvater dann wurden ihm die moralischen Dimensionen der Wahl seiner Nahrungsmittel mehr und mehr bewusst. Aus Literatur und Philosophie und seiner eigenen Suche nach der Wahrheit zieht er überraschende Schlussfolgerungen darüber, warum wir essen was wir essen.
Klappentext:
Part memoir and part investigative report, Eating Animals is the groundbreaking moral examination of vegetarianism, farming, and the food we eat every day that inspired the documentary of the same name.
Bestselling author Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his life oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. For years he was content to live with uncertainty about his own dietary choices but once he started a family, the moral dimensions of food became increasingly important.
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" -and a must-read for anyone who cares about building a more humane and healthy world.
