""A powerfully informative book that commands attention from all who care about the welfare of animals."": Barbara Orlans, Kennedy Institute of Ethics, Georgetown University

This well-edited, useful technical book brings open discussion to the political and environmental implications of the meat business. Written by a bevy of world experts, the book has clearly written chapters on animal welfare, intensive factory farming and biotechnology, the arguement for vegetarianism, genetic enginering and the effect of the WTO and the world trade on our ability to feed the world. With its handbook-size format and basic references for each chapter, this is an essential tool for anyone working in or trying to understand the problems and future of not only meat but all aspects of food production.
