This was an excellent book. Mr. Safran-Foer has a background in philosophy, and I definitely saw the philosophy side shine through.
Lots of great information, yes, some repeated from other sources; some of the quotes from factory-farm workers were definitely recirculated from other books (I recognized quite a few from "Skinny Bitch").
I borrowed it from the library, but now I'm trying to get my hands on a copy because I want to be able to reread it and reference it-- unfortunately I've since forgotten many of the useful facts I learned.
If you eat, you must read this book.
