If you’re looking for a book to add to your summer reading list, why not pick up Face On Your Plate: The Truth About Food by Jeffrey Mousaieff Masson.

The book details myths about meat eating and gives reasons why it isn’t natural or healthy.

It’s been on Candice Bergen’s summer reading list and she seems to agree with everything Masson says, calling it, “a guide to ethical eating that basically confirms everything I have felt about eating meat for 35 years.”

Technically, Candice is a self-proclaimed half-assed vegetarian, because she still eats chicken. But wait, chicken is meat.

Maybe Masson’s book will help Candice see chicken faces the next time she grabs her plate.

When you tell some people you’re a vegetarian, they often reply with the snide remark, “See those teeth. Those are incisors. That means we were meant to eat meat.”

But in his book The Face on Your Plate, author Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson debunks that myth, along with other reasons  that are used to rationalize meat eating.

We’re not that unique from animals, he says, as we share as much as 95% DNA with many of them.

Not to mention the devastating effects raising animals for food has on the planet and animal suffering just isn’t acceptable.

Then there are the diseases associated with a meat based diet.

B vitamins? Those come in supplements.

Masson grew  up with two vegetarian parents and flip flopped from vegetarian to meat eating, but is now a vegan.

He’s written several other books on the emotional lives of animals from pets like cats and dogs to farm animals.
