## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The false economy of meat has been exposed, and I don't want to pay for it anymore!
        
*by A***R on August 8, 2017*

What would make a free-market Republican go vegan?  This book.  The false economy of meat cannot be sustained in an age where meat is being linked with all of our leading fatal diseases and disorders, animal agriculture emerges as not only a leading cause of climate change but a sector not to be reduced but eliminated, and a cultural awakening that human consumption has driven us to a holocaust of bred-for-suffering-and-slaugher animals.  Animal agriculture is sustained on the lies of nutrition that drink the money of our taxpayers.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The economic, health, and enivironmental cost of meat in America
        
*by T***N on December 2, 2017*

“Each year, American tax payers dish out $38 billion to subsidize meat, fish, eggs, and dairy.” Because of the artificially low prices of food from animals, as a nation, Americans eat more meat per person than any other country on the planet.In the nonfiction book Meatonomics, David Robison Simon lays out the economic impact of factory farming while also noting the environmental, nutritional, and ethical impacts.Two world bank scientists say animal agricultural systems is the single greatest cause of climate change.“Compared to plant protein, raising animal protein takes up to one hundred times more water, eleven times more fossil fuels, and five times more land.”The USDA and FDA, which are theoretically supposed to guard American’s health, are largely staffed by people with ties to the meat and dairy industries. This is why antibiotics and steroids are commonly used to make farm animals grow faster. With all the subsidies, eating a meat-heavy diet is inexpensive in this country.See the documentary Merchants of Doubt and the fictional film Thank You for Smoking for how lobbyists and “experts” are used to promote unsavory industries like oil and tobacco.This is a downer of a book. He points out that organic farming is more efficient for pig production, but less efficient for dairy and egg production. Even buying locally may not be a good idea. Texas, for example, went through an epic drought, but still consumed unbelievable amounts of water to raise cattle.The solution is to eat fewer animal products. Ask yourself why you could buy a burger from McDonald’s for $1 in 1991—and it still costs $1 today in 2017. It actually costs $11 to produce that (very disgusting, poor quality) hamburger. Altogether, when you add up the health and environmental costs of our heavy meat consumption, Americans spend $414 billion dollars in subsidies and higher insurance rates.
  

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Should be required reading for everyone.
        
*by K***N on October 4, 2016*

This book is amazing, eyeopening, disheartening and, sigh, so true that it is overwhelming.  How does this system get changed?  It seems too big to tackle.  I am astounded by the dedication of Mr. Simon and others who try to enlighten the public, offer solid proof and recommendations and accomplish change.  This book should be a must read for every college student, maybe even high school students and anyone who wants to know how "the system" works.  reading it is enlightening, educational and demonstrates that the time to change is now.  Not tomorrow, but today and every day thereafter.
