### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be a Movie
        
*by A***T on December 23, 2016*

Since we have become so disconnected from the life of the animals we consume, and the industry has become so obsessed with profit over welfare, books like this have become necessary to shake us out of our malaise.  We need to know that the blood, guts and gore of the slaughterhouses and the cruelty of the handling and transport of animals are a prelude to the shiny plastic-wrapped cuts we see in the supermarket coolers.  Consuming animals is an option, not a necessity, but almost every restaurant entree is meat: chicken, pork, beef, or mutton.Strange that we care so intensely about a few who share our home, but the vast majority of food animals are beaten, thrown, shocked, or ignored as they suffer through the assembly line after their miserable short lives.  The book points out the lack of feelings of the employees in the feed lots, chicken sheds, and farrowing pens ; how they become numb to the suffering they are a part of.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Intellectually Deconstructing Cruel Eating Habits
        
*by C***E on November 2, 2014*

“Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows: An Introduction to Carnism” by Dr. Melanie Joy is an intellectual assault on carnism – why people believe it is okay to eat some species of animals and not others. The book opens up with a scenario where someone is given stew and then told that the meat in it is made of Golden Retriever.I grew up in an environment where my entire family ate meat. I understand how difficult it is to take a stand in midstream when all sorts of family customs and celebrations regarding food are firmly ingrained. For the last decade, I have been skirting around vegetarianism and have decided that a vegan lifestyle is the only cruelty-free way to go. When so many alternatives to meat and dairy are in the marketplace now, I don’t understand why a thoughtful, considerate person would not opt for this path instead of one where cruelty is the staple. I also understand that one’s family and circle of friends should care more about the one’s happiness then how convenient and easy it is to feed that person.Dr. Joy’s examples are well constructed. She does not simply appeal to emotions to get her point across. In this book, for instance, I learned that 19,011 animals die every minute in the United States for food consumption, and that is not including the animals dwelling in water. This equates to 10 billion animals per year.If you are wondering why you might view an animal who resides in your home differently than one who lives on a farm, this is a great book for you to read. Also, if you are just curious why people make conscious choices to change their eating habits, this is also a good read. Even someone who works in the agribusiness would find this interesting.Thank you Dr. Joy for such a great solid book. I would definitely recommend this to others.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ like the Omnivore's Dilemma
        
*by H***Y on January 29, 2017*

I've read most of the popular books on the food industry and vegetarianism, like the Omnivore's Dilemma, Fast Food Nation, and Animal Liberation. This book is the best I've read at integrating stances and providing logical arguments. It does lean more towards academia, but this adds to the book, it doesn't take away from it as some reviews have said.
