The Price of Meat by Danny Penman (Gollancz, £9.99, ISBN 0 575 06344 0)
is a book that you will find you have to put down—not from boredom, but
from overdosing on horrors. It is a merciless exposé of modern food
production methods, ranging from the notorious feeding of animal protein to cows
to the potential exploitation of genetically engineered animals. Don’t be
surprised if you end up feeling that vegetarianism should be a plank in any sane
political platform.
