LONG OVERDUE

I understand that this book was published in the 1990's, but with the Green movement, it offers a very timely lesson. Kashrut laws do not absolve Jews from eating humanely, and the fact is that if they forced themselves really to LOOK at the way meat us raised in the US, they could not reconcile eating meat with their religious values. However, this book's lesson applies not just to Jews but to any people who want to live decently and not contribute to cruelty toward other species. You cannot adhere to any morale code and eat meat produced by the agribusiness complex. Unless you're starving, but that raises another set of religious issues...
