    <![CDATA[Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between carnivore and vegetarian. As he became a husband and a father, he kept returning to two questions: Why do we eat animals? And would we eat them if we knew how they got on our dinner plates?<br/> Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, and his own undercover detective work, <em>Eating Animals</em> explores the many fictions we use to justify our eating habits-from folklore to pop culture to family traditions and national myth-and how such tales justify a brutal ignorance. Marked by Foer's profound moral ferocity and unvarying generosity, as well as the vibrant style and creativity that made his previous books, <em>Everything is Illuminated</em> and <em>Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close</em>, huge bestsellers, <em>Eating Animals</em> is a celebration and a reckoning, a story about the stories we've told--and the stories we now need to tell.]]>
