Paper on the culture of animal cruelty

[pelicanAndrew]

I'm writing a paper on how animal testing and factory farming is a huge part of our society and needs to be changed.

 

This is mainly based on the culture of animal testing and meat consumption and packing. I plan on tearing apart those fucking BK burger commercials.

 

Any suggestions for books would be great. So far i obviously have Animal Liberation on my source list, but i need 4 more. Might use The China Study as well to show how we all pay for everyones poor health. I really would like an environmental side if anybody knows a good book that'd be great.

"Diet for a New American" or "The Diet Revolution" by John Robbins.

Ahhh yes thank you, I've been meaning to read that anyways.

 

2 more to go!!! I really would like an environmental stance on this as well because that was one of my reasons why i first went vegan. I'd like to use skinny bitch as a source for that maybe. My mom told me there were some environmental things in there.

 

p.s. I had the good ol' "where do you get your protein argument" today. Apparently we can only get protein from peanut butter. Man I wish!!!!

Food Revolution has a lot on the environmental issues of animal farming.

Click on the land, water, and energy links. They have mindblowing statistics, and with footnote/reference links that will direct you to the original research or articles.

 

Good luck!!!
