These books were given to me as Christmas presents. They are not easy reads, but they have information that everyone should have some knowledge of, if they don't already. I had some awareness before I read these books, but I had no single book that would be a reference book on the subject.
The young reader's edition is like a Reader's Digest take on the adult book. The book is an abbreviated version, but it includes all the highlights. It is not something I want either my teen or pre-teen (or maybe even Book Girl) to read. Suffice it to know a bit about it, without reading it.
The author claims that those who are vegetarians begin to eat meat again, after reading his book, or conversely, those who eat meat become vegetarians.
He talks a lot about how corn has taken over, and what that means even for a cow's digestion.
He takes us from cattle ranching to small, green type farms that are self-sustaining. He helps on the latter for a period of time and on the day that chickens are processed. This particular farm was very interesting to me. I definitely recommend reading this section -- how the chickens are brought into the pastures where the cows had been a couple of days earlier. They clear the manure of eatable bugs, adding food to their diet and clearing the pasture for the safety of the animals. The systems of moving the animals is very interesting.
He finds large packing plants won't let him in. He describes in detail how a cow is killed for food, humanely.
These are not easy books to read, but they might be necessary for one's education.
Have you read either of these books?
