Heavens it took the book banners in our society long enough to find this quiet voice discussing the true enviornmental and human costs of Factory Farms. I am guessing that it why some people are now upset over this 1992 book. Either that, or they are LONG overdue on their 'pulitzer list'.

Fly far little book!
