This collection of articles and blog posts was written by the vegan blacksheep son of the founder of ice-cream giant Baskin-Robbins. Apparently he is a well-known advocate of healthy plant-based sustainable living and cruelty-free conditions for all. I found most of this short book to be a compelling indictment of our industrial food system: CAFOs, growth hormones, uber milk production, caged chickens and pigs, and scariest of all GMO soy. Like a lot of these types he provides no references and gets a bit self-helpy towards the end, but its still a good read on the topic .
