This book says exactly what American consumers need to hear. If you can't handle that your food is tortured before it gets to your plate, maybe you shouldn't be eating meat. If you can't handle that the government is corrupt and doesn't care what your long-term effects are, and that the dairy industry wants you to eat as much dairy as possible regardless of the effects on your health, well, then maybe you shouldn't be eating that, either. Likewise with pesticides and antibiotics. These girls tell it like it is-- too much information for most of the public, but it needs to get out there. If you don't like the tone of this book, I'd suggest something calmer and more philosophical, like "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Please don't give a book a bad review just because you don't like that it tells you the truth about where your food comes from.

And, for the record, I am not a militant vegan, as so many of you have characterized the authors. I kind of rather enjoyed their sassiness, because it's coming from a frustrated "when will we as a society REALIZE x, y, z" rather than pure b*tchiness.
