The other day I saw a friend on FB mention this book in his status... Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, I went out and got the book.

I was vegetarian for 3 years when I was younger. Fell pregnant. Started to eat fish again. Then moved onto read meat. Loved my meat. But have always felt that I SHOULD be vegetarian. Not sure why. Not even much of an animal lover. Just somehow felt like the right thing to do. I haven't managed it. Eat very little meat. Hardly ever cook meat. But still eat it as a "treat"??!!

I've only read the first 41 pages. They are hugely eye opening. He takes your ideas/views and shifts them 2mm over to the left so suddenly you see the world a little differently. Am a commitment phobe. So don't like to publicly commit to anything. But think I would be cruel and crazy to keep eating meat. Even want to go and hug a cow now. Weird!
