The Face on Your Plate Audiobook (Free)

Somewhere in between Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, between eating at McDonald’s and getting rid of a pig for supper, there’s a need for an audiobook that may probe deeper and offer greater understanding and insight in to the psychological factors that influence decisions in what we eat and just why – and exactly how these choices affect our lives, animals’ lives, and the environment. In this revelatory function, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, the best-selling author of When Elephants Weep, does about THE FACIAL SKIN on Your Dish just that, showing how food impacts our moral selves, our health, and the surroundings. THE FACE AREA on Your Dish raises questions which make us aware of the decisions behind every bite we consider: So how exactly does the fitness of pets affect the fitness of our planet and of our bodies? What effect will eating pets have on our property, on our waters, and even on global warming? What exactly are the results of farming procedures – debeaking hens and separating calves from their mothers – on animals and humans? Being a psychoanalyst, Masson uniquely investigates how denial retains us from knowing the animal at the end of our fork – think pig, not bacon – and each culture’s difference among pets considered food and those that are forbidden. THE FACIAL SKIN on Your Plate brings together Masson’s intellectual, mental, and emotional knowledge during the last twenty years in to the pivotal book of the food revolution. Anyone who would like to be open-eyed about their meals options – vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters – will welcome this timely work.
