Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This is a comprehensive attack on modern agricultural methods, including animal farming, as practiced in the United States. Fox shows how the pursuit of short-term gains leads to cruel treatment of food animals, depletion of the land, pollution of water, and overuse of energy. And, Fox claims, our food is delivered with less nutrients and more harmful chemicals. While we are known for our low-cost food, Fox points out the hidden costs, in poorer health, stresses on the environment, and a loss of our humanity in the treatment of animals. A particularly interesting chapter deals with "eating humanely," a way of selecting foods based on whether they are grown under ecologically sound and humanitarian conditions. Readers who can get through the statistics will find thought-provoking material here. Daniel LaRossa, Connetquot P.L., Bohemia,

1.0 out of 5 stars What a joke
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2014
This book was a huge waste of time. Twisting information to push his vegan lifestyle, hardly scientific or to be considered a trusworthy source for information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to the dark side of factory farming
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2013
Fox'a Agricide is a pioneering treatise written well before the current boom in organic, free-range, and grass-fed husbandry. The book's substance and conclusions are current today.
