Why do the vast majority of Americans eat animals when we now have so many alternatives? That’s the question Free From Harm director Robert Grillo explores in his new book Farm to Fable: The Fictions of Our Animal-Consuming Culture.
Grillo examines how our culture influences what we eat and exposes the dark side of animal agriculture. What drives your food choices? And how have we turned farmed animals into commodities for human consumption and exploitation?
