Consider the Turkey
(Author) Peter Singer"Each year, Peter Singer, the philosopher, ethicist, and Animal Rights activist, teaches a large undergraduate class on Ethics. In advance of the Thanksgiving holiday in America, he gives a lecture to his students on the ethical issues involved with its journey to our holiday tables. He covers how the bird came into existence and the kind of life and death it has as well as the conditions of the workers involved with its production and the environmental impact of their being factory farmed. It is not a pretty picture and may lead one to think twice about their turkey traditions. This very short book will be an expanded form of the essay based on that lecture he wrote for our book, Ethics in the Real World. The plan is to increase that essay from about 1,000 words to 8,000 and package it as an On Bullshit-sized book which could be a Thanksgiving classic!"--
