SRP 2011 REVIEW: If you wish to know the hard truth about where your meat comes from, this eye opening book will answer many of your questions. More straight talking and harder hitting than Michael Pollan's "Omnivore's Dilemma," it lays bare how cruelly animals are raised just so we can have cheap meat on our dinner plates.
