Need Help -- Book regarding slaughtering Animals

[Guest guest]

Hey There,

 

Does anybody know of a GOOD and factual book regarding the massive

slaughter/treatment of animals in this country. My stepdaughter who visits us,

is now

asking us questions regarding why we are vegetarians.....I gave her some

personal reasons but want her to get a fuller picture than that. She is an

avid

reader and she said if we gave her a book on it she would read it. I would like

her to be a vegetarian as well of course, but won't force her (nor could I if

I wanted to since she doesn't live with us)....I believe a good factual book

will probably turn her stomach and change her mind or at least " enlighten "

her. Please let me know of any titles and/or author....if you have an ISBN

number that would be great too, but not nessessary.

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure about books.....but sometimes seeing gets the point

across better than the printed word. How about the video " meet

your meat " [ http://www.meetyourmeat.com ] or have her sit in

front of the computer at PETA TV [ http://www.petatv.com ] there's

lots of video clips there. But take a look at it yourself first- so you

can pick and choose. I don't know her age, or what you deem

appropriate. Both sites are put out by PETA, and are quite graphic.

There is a 'for kids' video clips section at the second site; scroll

down at the home page.

[been a year or so since I've seen those clips], and is wiping away

tears that wont stop.....

I'd recommend " Fast Food Nation " by Eric Schlosser. It's a fairly new

book. It's not just about the fast food industry, it's more. It

covers every aspect of the meat industry, from what goes on in the

slaughterhouses, to what is in the meat, and the politics behind it

all. I would think anyone who reads it would think twice about eating

meat, or letting their child buy food from the school lunch program.

Parts of this book made me so angry. And sickened. How has our

civilization gotten so far off track?

THE FOOD REVOLUTION by John Robbins.

He is a vegan and gave up his inheritance from Baskin-Robbins

because of his beliefs. The book will make any meat eater quit

eating at least chicken and hamburger.

 

FAST FOOD NATION is also good, but not exactly the same.
