I would love to read this book because I am curious as to how Foer’s book goes about being as non-confrontational as it claims to be. As a vegan, I want to read it, and then pass it on!
I’ve heard so much about it and now I want to read it.
This book sounds extremely interesting, and I would love to read it. It’s no longer a question for me whether my kids will be raised vegan or not (they will), but it would be interesting to see this author’s view point.
This book sounds really interesting and in light of all of the press it has received I would love to read it.
Judging from Foer’s interviews he has some great responses to commonly asked questions – it’s always good to pick up new ways of framing issues or addressing questions. Its good to see what details of animal exploitation resonate with people.
I became a vegetarian about 10 years ago, first it was b/c my body stopped digesting meat and now it’s b/c of ethical/religious reasons. I constantly hear vegetarians being badgered about not eating meat and it upsets me. I am finally getting up the courage to help stand up for other non-meat eaters and I think this type of book would give me more of the basic language/knowledge/facts to help educate myself and those who question my reasoning to be vegetarian. It sounds like an intriguing book that I’d pass along to one of my many many meat eating friends.
I want the book so I can give it to my brother- I need something to push him over the edge to veganism, and he LOVES JSF.
I would love this book to give as a Christmas present to my on-the-fence best friend.
Hi! My husband is vegan, I am omnivore and we talk about how we would raise our children should we ever have them. I am hoping to win this book as I am interested in what Foer found in his research as well as what motivated him to research that for his child to begin with!
As a vegetarian, every day someone asks why. I’ve always said because it doesn’t feel right eating animals. It would be nice to have some other facts. I like that he is coming from a former meat eater perspective. I also saw him interview on some talk show and he was fascinating!
I’d love a copy that I could share with my fellow staffers at Ecojustice and encourage our veggie politics, while getting a better understanding of his anti-organic and free-range opinions.
He’s not anti-organic or anti-free-range.
I want this book because knowledge is power!! (Especially when you live among meat eaters.)
Hello! I have been a vegetarian for 6 years now and would love to go back to being a vegan, and this book is one I’ve wanted to read. I live in Las Vegas, does that get me points? =]
Hi Elaine,
First, THANK YOU for your constant, fortitude, passion and ACTIONS.
I would like to read this book, then promote and teach. Maybe I will inspire me completing a similar book I have been working on. Because I have a drive and PASSION to both learn vegan brilliant concepts and how to influence, inspire, model and teach other people. Being a mother I am especially focused on parents so they stop the nutritional abuse and feed there precious children to help them be the smart, health, conscious, and wise!
On another note: my husband and I are now ready to have Vegan events at our house in SW Vegas.
Viva La Vegan
Viva La Vegas Vegans!
It is SO urgently important that human beings around the world be educated, and I wish this book could be distributed amongst schools, at the very least.
I would love to “earn” the right to a copy of this book, because after reading it a few times myself, I would want to start lending it out to oh so many still-uninformed people.
I’ve been a vegetarian since 1969, and a vegan since 1990.
After re-reading what Elena wrote just above my comment, she should win this book. She’s absolutely right about our teaching parents everything we can. I raised my own child the way I am sure she’s raising hers, and imagine the impact this book would have for those around her who are not yet vegan.
Well I would love to win the book because I read a lot of critics and I feel I really need to find out what this is all about. I hope it is good enough to pass it on to my friends who are on the fence with regards to animal rights issues…
Oh wow, if I could win this book it would be perfect for my hubby to read! He won’t admit it but he’s on the fence about going vegan like me. His doctor has already told him to cut his meat intake by half due to his diabetes, which he’s done, much to my surprise and delight. But he needs more of a nudge to give up meat entirely. This book would do it I think since I read it’s targeted more towards meat eaters than us vegans…not preaching to the choir, lol. So please, pick me to win this book!
Hi Elaine,
I’ve heard a lot of good about this book. It seems like he’s not promoting complete vegetarianism, as much as looking at how really bad factory farming is for our health, the environment, and obviously the animals. Karen Dawn of DawnWatch sent me a link to a Nov 1, 2009 NPR interview with Jonathan Safran Foer at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114298495 if anyone is interested. And there’s a CNN article by him at http://www.cnn.com/2009/OPINION/10/28/opinion.jonathan.foer/index.html too.

This book sounds really interesting, and I’ve heard plenty about it from vegans – both good and bad reviews. I’d be very interested in reading it.

I would love the book because I have been reading a copy from the library and I think it is great and would be perfect to share with others.

I’d love to win the book because I’m a big fan of JSF’s fiction, so I’m excited to read something his nonfiction about a topic so close to my heart!

I’ve heard so much hype about this book — I have to know whether this book as good as it’s supposed to be.

I sooooo want to win this because I am intrigued by what I’ve heard about the book.
I want to win this book because I’m half-way through reading it and am already keeping a mental tally in my head of how many people I want to give it to as a gift. A free book would help out my “give Eating Animals to non-vegan friends and family” budget.
Everyone should read this book!

I want to win this book because i’ve been meaning to read it for ages and Jonathan Safran Foer is one of my favorite authors.
I am a big fan of JSF and am a long-time vegetarian trending towards becoming vegan. I’d love to read this book for new perspectives for myself and to share with others. Thanks!
Hi! I want the book because my (non-mammal eating) husband still thinks “fishes” are “seafood”. I heard the chapter on sea creatures is compelling – And I need help to persuade my cause!

I want to give this book to my dad. I think he could really gain a lot from it. Thank you!
I’m a vegetarian who is thinking about going vegan. I would like to read this book. Thanks!
my daughter has talked about wanting to be a vegetarian and I would love to find out more about it.
