Book Review: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

EatingAnimals_BlogPost.jpg

The literary wunderkind you love to hate puts a pomo finish on Michael Pollan in this polemic about carnivorism and food production. Foer's usual stylistic trickery (e.g., a Swiftian endorsement of eating dogs) doesn't make reading about castrated piglets much more enjoyable, but maybe a subject like this shouldn't be fun.
