The original edition of this book exposed modern poultry practices, revealing the tragedy chickens endure through the lens of an industry that brutally processes them without remorse. This revised edition looks at the horrific conditions these animals still face—in spite of free-range and cage-free claims—and at the heightened risks consumers face living in a world in which avian influenza, food poisoning, global warming, and genetic engineering interface with the expansion of poultry production and consumption.

The author offers a compelling argument for adopting a compassionate, plant-based cuisine as an alternative to the inhumane practices the industry offers. This book will help both flextarians and non-vegetarians alike understand the real price of their breakfast or dinner and may provide the catalyst need to change warfare to welfare.
