## Description

This book puts the issue of eating animals squarely on the table. We all claim to care about animals and to regard them as having at least some moral value. We all claim to agree that it's wrong to inflict "unnecessary" suffering and death on animals and—whatever disagreement we may have about when animal use is necessary—we all agree that the suffering and death of animals cannot be justified by human pleasure, amusement, or convenience. We condemn Michael Vick for dogfighting precisely because we feel strongly that any pleasure that Vick got from this activity could not possibly justify what he did. So how can we justify the fact that we kill many billions of land animals and fish every year for food? However "humanely" we treat and kill these animals, the amount of animal suffering we cause is staggering. Yet no one maintains that animal foods are necessary for optimal health. Indeed, mounting empirical evidence points to animal foods being detrimental for human health. But however you evaluate that evidence, there can be no serious doubt that we can have excellent health with a vegan diet. There is also broad consensus that animal agriculture is an ecological disaster. Animal agriculture is responsible for water pollution, air pollution, deforestation, soil erosion, inefficient use of plant protein and water, and all sorts of other environmental harms. The best justification we have for the unimaginable amount of suffering and death that we impose on animals is that they taste good. We enjoy the taste of animal foods. But how is this any different from Michal Vick claiming that his dogfighting operation was justifiable because he enjoyed watching dogs fight? Vick liked sitting around a pit watching animals fight. We enjoy sitting around a summer barbecue pit roasting the corpses of animals who had lives and deaths that were as bad as, if not worse than, Vick's dogs. What is the difference between Michael Vick and those of us who eat animal foods? This book shows there is no difference, or at least not any difference that matters morally. Prof. Gary L. Francione and Prof. Anna Charlton argue that if you think animals matter morally—if you reject the idea that animals are just things—your own beliefs require that you stop eating animal products. There is nothing "extreme" about a vegan diet; what is extreme is the inconsistency between what we say we believe and how we act where animals are concerned. Many of us are uneasy thinking about the animals who end up on our plates. We may have thought about stopping our consumption of animal products, but there are many excuses that have kept us from doing so. The authors explore the 30+ excuses they have heard as long-time vegans and address each one, showing why these excuses don't work. Packed with clear, commonsense thinking on animal ethics, without jargon or complicated theory, this book will change the way you think about what you eat.

Review: A fresh angle and a great reference - Eat Like You Care is a very fast read. Francione argued that if animals have even a little bit of value, their value must be considered. If humans are considered to be more valuable, we are still not justified to hurt them for our pleasure. I was at first taken aback by the assumption that humans have more value than animals. I like to think that animals are much more similar to us than they have been given credit for. I do recognize that the great majority of people do believe people to have more value than animals. I think his point is that even if we do not consider animals to be our equal, it is still not justified to hurt them without necessity. In a world where eating animals is a choice and not a necessity for a healthy life there is no justification for eating meat. Eating meat is unnecessary cruelty in a similar way that dog fighting is unnecessary cruelty. The format of the book is set up as a great reference for questions anyone may ask about veganism. Francione has a convincing argument for each of the excuses that keep people from taking the conscious step to live vegan. I liked the fresh angle Francione used to come around to his argument. The frequently asked question section is a great reference to anyone. Vegans and nonvegans alike have asked these questions and Francione has answers. I'd recommend it to anyone.
Review: Doubts dispeled - After reading all magnificent books written by Professor Gary L. Francione, I was thrilled to read this new book written by him and by Professor Anna Charlton, which proved to be one more priceless asset that will certainly make more and more people connect the dots about the importance of being vegan. Its clear approach leads us to the point of reconnecting with the conviction we already have that being wrong to inflict unnecessary suffering and death on animals, we should act to meet our convictions by stopping eating animals and their products. The concepts in the book are so powerful and truthful that we do not want to eat less animal products, or just eat animals sometimes, or consume "cage-free", "free-range", or "happy" meat and animal products. We come to the point of finally understanding our moral obligation towards animals and the need to no longer harm them. Word after word, "Eat Like You Care" painlessly dispels all our doubts that the suffering and killing of billions and billions of animals can be in any sense something necessary. ----------------------------------------------------- Depois de ler todos os livros brilhantes do Professor Gary L. Francione, fiquei entusiasmada em ler esse novo livro escrito por ele e pela Professora Anna Charlton, que provou ser mais uma contribuição inestimável, que certamente fará com que mais e mais pessoas compreendam a importância de ser vegano. A sua abordagem clara nos reconnecta com a convicção que já possuimos de que como é errado causar sofrimento e morte desnecessários aos animais, nós deveríamos agir para que essa convicção faça sentido ao parar de consumir animais e seus produtos. Os conceitos expostos no livro são tão incisivos e verdadeiros que nós não queremos comer menos animais e seus produtos, ou apenas consumir animais às vezes, ou consumir ovos de aves livres de gaiola, ou carne "feliz". De fato, nós chegamos ao ponto de entender finalmente nossas obrigações morais para com os animais e a necessidade de não prejudicá-los mais. Palavra após palavra, "Eat Like You Care" desfaz facilmente todas as nossas dúvidas de que o sofrimento e a morte de bilhões e bilhões de animais podem ser, de alguma forma, necessários.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A "must read" for everyone!
*by K***W on September 12, 2014*

This book defends the simple proposition that if animals matter morally AT ALL, we cannot consume them or their byproducts. It does not present a general argument for animal rights. It does not defend the notion that animals and humans have equal moral value. The book focuses on two principles: 1) We have a moral obligation not to impose unnecessary suffering or harm on animals; suffering imposed for mere pleasure, amusement or convenience, is, by definition, unnecessary -and- 2) Although animals matter morally, humans matter more in situations of *valid* conflict. Among other things, the book refutes 36 'excuses' that are frequently made by those that claim to care about animals, but still find it acceptable to continue to consume them. Simple, straight-forward, persuasive language is employed, which makes the book an 'easy read' for absolutely everyone! The book can be used in a variety of ways: to strengthen your own resolve for ethical veganism, to share with family and friends as a means of introducing ethical veganism, and as a tool for advocacy when working with the general public. I highly recommend it!
