Jonathan Safran Foer isn’t Eating Animals
Americans eat cows, pigs, chickens…but why not dogs? That’s one mental exercise author Jonathan Safran Foer works through in his new book, which takes a sober look at what many of us take for granted every day: what is the meat we’re eating and where does it come from? Safran Foer tells his personal tale—from culinary dabbling bachelor, to conscientious, vegetarian father. But personal preferences aside, this isn’t a straightforward case for vegetarianism so much as a metered exploration of our eating habits, assumptions and industry.
Guest:
Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close; his most recent novel is Eating Animals
