It was nice to see one of yesterday’s “Feature Articles” on CNN’s homepage was the article “Eating animals is making us sick” written by Jonathan Safran Foer. I have to admit, I haven’t read Jonathan’s new book “Eating Animals” but I have a $5 off Waldenbooks coupon sitting right in front of me which will be used this weekend to purchase said book. It’s amazing to see such high-profile articles getting coverage in mainstream media. That coupled with 3 books related to veganism in Amazon’s top 100 bestselling books is truly astounding. You can read Jonathan’s article here and you can also catch Jonathan discussing his new book at the Santa Monica Public Library on November 7th.

Man thank you for turning me on to this book/article!
“The group calculated that 24.6 million pounds of antibiotics were fed to chickens, pigs and other farmed animals, counting only nontherapeutic uses. And that was in 2001. In other words, for every dose of antibiotics taken by a sick human, eight doses are given to a “healthy” animal.”
As if I didn’t need even more scary pro vegan ammunition in my holster!

I can’t wait to read the full book. I’m sure there are going to be some insane revelations…
