Eating Animals

Mit seinem ersten Roman "Everything is illuminated" landete Jonathan Safran Foer in den USA einen sensationellen Erfolg. Angeregt durch seine Vaterschaft, stellte sich der Gelegenheitsvegetarierer Safran Foer nun die ernsthafte Frage nach unserer gegenwärtigen Ernährung und ihren weitreichenden Konsequenzen. In "Eating animals" verarbeitet er seine Odysee von traditionellen Bauernhöfen über die industrielle Tierproduktion bis zum Schlachthof zu einem kritischen Sachbuch über unseren Fleischkonsum.
