I checked this book out of the library initially for Jordan so she could read about the sustainable benefits of being a vegetarian. There are some chapters about the value of vegetarianism from a farming/food production angle I don't think she was aware of. I have found myself reading sections of the book. It is very well written and compelling. Goodall recognizes the need for a sustainable lifestyle not just for animals, but for humans as well. It is not just a health issue, but an environmental issue as well as a means of keeping ourselves well balanced and in tune with the "contract" we should all be committed to in order to keep our planet viable.
I can't bring myself to read the sections on factory farming, but Goodall's point is clearly made. I recommend this to anyone interested in being more mindful about the food she/he is consuming.
