This was fine for an Audible freebie, had potentially interesting elements, but after watching a lot of Black Mirror, it didn’t feel particularly original.

Being familiar with the reportage of the authors, and imagining the massive amount of source material from which they drew, I was impressed with the effortless readability of this book. I enjoyed the journey through Oakland history which laid out the historical underpinnings and key inflection points in cultural shifts in local policing and “The Town.” Behavior documented mirrors what is familiar from We Own this City,
reinforcing the point that internal monitoring and reform is improbable. I hope this book becomes recognized as the important work that it is—it should be assigned reading. I’ll be recommending it widely.

As cheesy as It Ends with Us was, it at least had some good drama and serious subject matter. This had so little happen and hardly even a pivotal conflict. Did I miss some chapters?

A brilliant, discerning, self-aware mind with the most resonant musings for the cynics among us. Gone far too soon.

Unless you are on the front lines of factory farming activism, with eyes wide open to these issues, you must to go through the reasoning of this book along with the writer. If you think it’s just ok to leave as an unexamined part of your life, it is not—it is so connected to other issues of moral, environmental, a health importance, it is not just a matter of privilege to have time to think seriously about this stuff.

I was worried that the descriptions of mistreatment of animals would be too intense—and they aren’t easy, but there is so much more to this book, and it isn’t until far into the book after a lot of context and other supporting material that such descriptions occur.

If you feel that any uncertainty about whether or not it is ok to eat factory farmed animals even just occasionally, this will help clear up any ambiguity. It just plain isn’t ok, there are lots of other options, and that’s without even consider the environmental impacts, which make saying “no” to industrial meat a no-brainer.

I think the only case for eating meat of questionable origin for me at this point is if something is bound for the waste stream/garbage can—I work in food and see instances of this all the time. I find throwing away animal products possibly the most offensive thing one could do with food on a soul level, considering all the embodied resources within used to produce and package them in the first place AND the methane it is destined to produce in a landfill.
