The first chapter of the novel discusses the way he grew up with food- feeling particularly puzzled by the idea of eating animals after his babysitter told him she “didn’t want to hurt anything” after he asked why she wasn’t eating chicken with them during dinner. The idea of this book, and the three year long journalistic research that went into it, was thought of by Foer after he pondered of what his unborn child’s diet would be like. The book is Foer’s examination of factory farming the suffering of sentient beings, morality of humans and their willingness to do nothing, and the impact behind the culture of food. This quote, from Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, is my favorite remark from his detailed story and personal account of everything that is wrong with today’s modern way of producing and eating meat.
