As he became a husband and father, the moral dimensions of eating became increasingly important to him. Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain his son why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with their creation. Traveling to the darkest corners of our dining habits, Foer raises the unspoken question behind every fish we eat, every chicken we fry, and every burger we grill. Part memoir and part investigative report Eating Animals is a book that, in the words of the Los Angeles Times, secures Jonathan Safran Foer ''a place at the table with our greatest philosophers.''''
