Book Club Meeting: "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer

Join CAA's Compassionate Living Book Club as we read this immensely popular book that is changing the way people think about food. Brilliantly synthesizing philosophy, literature, science, memoir, and the author's own detective work, Eating Animals explores the many stories we use to justify our eating habits. He talks about the role of folklore and pop culture, family traditions and national myth, apparent facts and inherent fictions and the way such tales can lull us into a brutal forgetting.

The Book Club meets twice a month, every other Sunday, to discuss our current selection. Books will be read a few chapters at a time to allow for more meaningful and in depth discussion.

Time: Mar 28, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m
Location: CAA Community Office, 2100 1st Ave S. Minneapolis, MN 55404

RSVP on Meetup.com.
