- Synopsis
- When Lovenheim's young daughter asks where hamburger comes from, he sets out to find a detailed answer to her question. He visits farms in New York state and buys two beef calves to follow through the beef production process. He presents a lot of information in a way which is clear and readable. He treats the farmers' actions and decision with respect and compassion even when he is dealing with the hard lives of the animals and their keepers. The author shares his own struggles concerning the slaughter of animals especially his own two cows. He interviews folks who revere cows and those who relish their best steaks. Excellent descriptions. Possibly a bleak subject, but definitely a captivating book.
