The reality of the industrial animal farm, typically a compound of gigantic, windowless, feces-mucky sheds in which tens of thousands of animals are tightly confined, is vividly and trenchantly documented in Jonathan Safran Foer’s best-selling anti-meat manifesto, “Eating Animals,” now out in paperback. Nine billion of these are killed in the United States, under a hideous system known as “factory farming.” At these farms, barnyard animals don’t roam in the sunshine, nor is there a kindly farmer to take care of them, as in the books we read to our children. First Back Bay paperback edition, 341 pages.Įvery year the world slaughters 50 billion chickens.
