Jonathan Safran Foer is on tour to promote his only work of non-fiction, Eating Animals, a book that explores factory farming and vegetarianism.
Foer’s stop at Harvard was accompanied by an interview with the The Crimson, where Foer gave a statistic about who’s going meatless in the college population.
“Eighteen percent of college students describe themselves as vegetarians,” Foer said. “There are more vegetarians than Catholics in college. In college campuses, it is so unremarkable to be a vegetarian. It’s a kind of aspirational identity. That’s the reason to be most hopeful.”
