"In their new book - commonsense in its approach, easy to read, packed with information - Peter Singer and Jim Mason show how market forces inexorably drive farmers toward cruel practices. But their overall message is not bleak. Factory farming is under pressure to justify itself. The day may not be far when we will return to a more ethical treatment of fellow animals, and there are many practical things that ordinary consumers can do to bring that day nearer."
- J. M. Coetzee, Nobel Prize-winning author
"In this well-researched and deeply troubling book, Peter Singer and Jim Mason paint a devastating portrait of the American meat industry that is bound to change the way you eat."
- Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire and The Omnivore's Dilemma
"An absolutely indispensable book for anyone who thinks about what they eat. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
- Jeffrey Masson, author of When Elephants Weep and Raising the Peaceable Kingdom
"Singer and Mason do not judge or preach; they accept that for many people, for many reasons, ethical considerations do not loom large when deciding how to feed their families.... an accessible and well-researched book, with extensive footnotes."
- The Australian

The Ethics of What We Eat
On what should conscientious consumers dine?

Peter Singer and Jim Mason take a standard meal enjoyed by three families and trace the ingredients back through the production process to see what ethical issues arise.

From turkeys specially bred to have massive breasts so they can no longer stand up, to chickens dropped alive into boiling water; from revelations of child and forced labour on coffee plantations, to the lack of policing of the term 'organic' - the authors raise questions about people's everyday food choices and challenge us to think before we buy.

What they discover about food choices and their effects will shock and challenge you. Containing essential information on ethical but practical shopping and dining, The Ethics of What We Eat will forever change the way you look at food.
