Synopsis In this acclaimed work, author John Robbins, the son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream company, reveals the barbaric and unsanitary conditions of American slaughter and dairy houses. He also addresses the large-scale ecological and health problems that are caused by Americans' obsession with high-protein diets. He shares studies that debunk popular myths--such as the belief that meat consumption is mandatory for optimum health--that are perpetuated by the meat and dairy industries. By exposing these reports and sharing his insider's experience, Robbins builds a strong case for becoming a vegetarian.
