  3. Douglas Adams _ Last Chance to See

    Despite the fact that an Indonesian island chicken has probably had a much more natural life than one raised on a battery farm in England, people who wouldn't think twice about buying something oven-ready become much more upset about a chicken that they've been on a boat with, so there is probably buried in the Western psyche a deep taboo about eating anything you've been introduced to socially.

  5. John Updike _ Rabbit, Run

    The Chinese food arrives. Delicious saliva fills his mouth. He really hasn't had any since Texas.

  11. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Eating Animals

    Before child labor laws, there were businesses that treated their ten-year-old employees well. society didn't ban child labor because it's impossible to imagine children working in a good environment, but because when you give that much power to businesses over powerless individuals, it's corrupting.

  12. Jonathan Safran Foer _ Eating Animals

    The choice-obsessed modern West is probably more accommodating to individuals who choose to eat differently than any other culture has ever been, but ironically, the utterly unselective omnivore - "I'm easy; I'll eat anything" - can appear more socially sensitive than the individual who tries to eat in a way that is good for society.
