I just finished this book:
It was pretty great. If you're a vegetarian, thinking about becoming one, or you're just interested to see how the meat you eat is produced, I suggest you read it. Before I read it, I was actually considering jumping off the vegetarian train, and it completely reaffirmed (and added a lot to) the reasons I don't eat meat.
Most of the focus is on the cruelty and in-sustainability of massive meat production. You wouldn't believe some of the things that happen to these animals. It is fucking brutal. Especially poultry. The choice of whether or not to eat animals is presented fairly, from both sides (though there are definitely more than two sides of this argument). You're left with information on the ecological, political, moral, and health impacts of your decision, and it's all presented very well.
So read it. Come on.
