    Interesting! I loved OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA, and actually felt he wrote pretty favorably about meat-eating -- just responsible meat-eating. I had been a vegetarian before I read it, and now have shifted to more of a locovore-ominvorous sort of diet.

    (Sometimes it is nice to talk about something that is not YA fantasy. :) )

    I haven't read it yet; he has the copy. It'll be interesting to talk about it with him; right now we're just tossing comments about while reading.
