This was incredibly well written and further solidified my undying love for Impossible nuggets (specifically the spicy ones).

In all seriousness, this is a book that everyone should read. I loved that this was not pushing vegetarianism on the reader, but (through peer reviewed research) showed the facts and horrors of factory farming in the USA Today and how far removed we are from the animals we consume. Eating/not eating meat is a multi-level discussion (moral, social, economic, feminist) and I'm privileged to be able to make the choice to not eat meat.

This book was also so thoughtfully written. Some non fiction can be too stark and textbook-y, but JSF wove personal narrative with peer reviewed facts (the last 30% of this book on my kindle was citations, notes, and links) in a way that felt incredibly natural. It was an honor to read this book. 5 stars.
