The End of Animal Farming: How Scientists, Entrepreneurs, and Activists Are Building an Animal-Free Food System by Jacy Reese Anthis
5.0
An important addition to the growing breadth of effective altruism literature.
Reese is well-measured and thoughtful throughout his 200ish-page book. I gained a lot of knowledge and insight despite following the movement sporadically.
My praise is independent from being a consumer of animal products. I’ve always wrestled with the morality of living the way I do—most humans for that matter. My cognitive dissonance went into overdrive while soaking in this book which is always a telltale sign of a personal favorite and five-star book.
Some things covered: empirical studies on animals and sentience, technological feats for plant-based and cell-based meat alternatives, factory farming atrocities, well-rounded arguments for persuading meat eaters to stop and think, religious dietary restrictions, effective altruism, protest tactics, marketing tactics, innovators and their startups.
