SYNOPSIS

In this revelatory work, acclaimed, bestselling author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explores what we eat and why. He shows how food affects our moral selves, our health, and our planet. Uniquely, as a psychoanalyst, Masson investigates how denial keeps us from recognizing the animal at the end of our fork and urges readers to consciously make decisions about food. Anyone who wants to be open-eyed about their food choices --- vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters --- will welcome this timely book.
