Like many young Americans, Jonathan Safran Foer spent much of his teenage and college years oscillating between enthusiastic carnivore and occasional vegetarian. As he became a husband, and then a father, the moral dimensions of eating became increasingly important to him. Faced with the prospect of being unable to explain why we eat some animals and not others, Foer set out to explore the origins of many eating traditions and the fictions involved with creating them.

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 , places Jonathan Safran Foer "at the table with our greatest philosophers."

也许因为某些往事太过沉重，也许她更青睐其中的某些人生故事，她希望自己是施与者而非幸存者。或许这两者自有其关联：她一生所有的故事都与食物有关。对她来说，食物不仅仅是食物，还意味着恐惧、尊严、感恩、复仇、喜悦、耻辱、宗教、历史，当然还有爱。她用来喂养我们的，是从家谱树上受损的枝头长出的果实。

吃动物这个话题与堕胎一样，关键概念往往难以定义（胚胎到底从哪一刻开始是完整的人？动物到底能够体会到哪些感觉？），而正是这些令人困扰的细节让我们深感不安，一旦谈及，不是满怀戒心的辩解，就是咄咄逼人的攻击。这是一个不好把握的话题，容易引起共鸣，也容易令人沮丧。每个问题往往会引发新的问题，你很容易发现自己的立场远比平时激进，或者更糟：你变得毫无立场。

乔治·奥威尔曾在《动物农场》中讽刺道（尽管背景很不同）：“所有动物一律平等，但有些动物比其他动物更平等。”他强调我们保护狗并非源于自然法则，而是源于我们对自然的演绎。

这样做有没有道理？究竟有什么理由将狗排除在菜单之外呢？

天文爱好者都知道一个小窍门：如果你看不清某个物体，就将视线稍稍往旁边移动。眼睛对光最敏感的部分（正是它帮助我们看清暗处的物体）其实在对焦区域的边缘。

吃动物这个话题就像一个模糊的物体。用狗代入其他动物的境遇，有助于我们审视平时看不清的东西。

无须多言，相信本书的读者都无法容忍把尖镐叉入任何一只狗的脸。那么，是动物伦理不适用于鱼类，还是我们对狗的关心不够理智？将任何生命慢慢折磨至死，难道不都是残酷的行为吗？

对宠物的亲密，能否让我们重新审视吃进肚子里的动物？同样作为生命，鱼（或牛、猪、鸡）在生物链上和我们究竟有多大差距？是一道鸿沟，还是就一棵树那么远的距离？相近和相异是不是相对的？如果有一天出现一种体力与智力都高于人类的生命，他们是否就能把我们当鱼一样吃掉？

在我看来，用战争来形容我们与鱼类的关系绝不为过，这个词精准地刻画出我们对付鱼类所动用的技术、手段以及统治的决心。
