Just got around to "Eating Animals," by Jonathan Safran Foer, Don T. While I'm not giving up trips to Peter Luger's anytime soon, you're 100% right, it was a very enjoyable and thoroughly researched book. The material about his grandmother being a Holocaust survivor was powerful and unexpected. The book is also laugh out loud funny at times. I still think that Foer is a bit of a pretentious windbag but that's certainly not the case here.

Highly recommended.
