I wanted to bring this list back up to the top - and comment on one of the books listed.

I just finished reading Drawing The Line.
It was a really interesting perspective; I thought it worth reading.

WOW!!! Thanks for the book list. I will definetly be checking out those books. :D

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. Not a blatantly pro veg book, but it does a good job of explaining the unethical tactics of the meat industry and the consequences of meat factories on our health.

"There is **** in the meat."

Living Among Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian's Survival Handbook by Carol Adams

One of the reasons I returned to vegetarianism is because I skimmed through this book. Now I want to actually read it and I can't find it. *frown*

yum, thanks for doing my honors project research for me! hahahaha

dominion by matthew scully ( http://www.matthewscully.com/index.htm)
