here's an paragraph of the interview (sorry for the

spacing)

 

I'm not a vegetarian but, having been in these plants

and feedlots and processing

facilities, I'm very angry about how the big

agribusiness companies are

producing our meat. I've thought about [being

vegetarian]

and I think there are very strong

arguments for it, not just on the more

selfish health-oriented grounds,

but really on ethical, moral grounds. I have

friends who are ranchers. I don't

know. There are glutamate receptors in our

taste buds, which are clearly

linked to the consumption of meat. For me, the

important thing is some kind of

connection to what you are doing, some kind

of respect, and somehow affording

a sense of dignity to these creatures

that we have co-existed with for

thousands of years. Our current system

doesn't do this. People have so

little idea of how cattle and hogs and

poultry are being raised and

slaughtered. For me it was really important to

let them know. You can read the

book and become vegetarian, or keep

eating meat, but you really should

know where your food is coming from,

and we don't. We're such a

suburban urbanized nation that's completely cut

off from any sense of this.

This book was recommended to me by a meating eating

relative. The book was recommeded to him by ANOTHER

meat eater. This is a GREAT book. I passed my Fast

Food Nations book to all my friends. They all like

the book. It's been in the top best seller's list for

non-fiction for a year now.
