The Summary: Happy Friday VegNews Book Clubbers! We are finishing up our third week of discussion on Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, and I wanted to thank everyone for their great thoughts and insights. We have one more week with this book, and I look forward to finishing up this fantastic read.As I mentioned in our conversation, the question I posed might have been a little loaded, and it definitely received some thoughtful comments. As vegans, it can be frustrating to be among others that just don't care about what they put on their plate, or the consequences. However, I agree with Jessica and Sock about the fact that everyone chooses to forget at times—it is a trait that we all share as human beings. And this question does lead back to the point I brought up in the first week about the cultural and traditional aspects of our food. These issues—food, animal agriculture, environment, etc.—are not black and white, and will take a great deal of discussion in order for solutions to be made.
Please finish the rest of the book for our discussion beginning Monday. Happy Presidents' Day Weekend!
