Product Information
Swine flu. Bird flu. Unusual concentrations of cancer and other diseases. Massive fish kills from flesh-eating parasites. Recalls of meats, vegetables, and fruits because of deadly E-coli bacterial contamination. Recent public health crises raise urgent questions about how our animal-derived food is raised and brought to market. In Animal Factory, bestselling investigative journalist David Kirby exposes the powerful business and political interests behind large-scale factory farms, and tracks the far-reaching fallout that contaminates our air, land, water, and food. In this thoroughly researched book, Kirby follows three families and communities whose lives are utterly changed by immense neighboring animal farms. These farms (known as "Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations," or CAFOs), confine thousands of pigs, dairy cattle, and poultry in small spaces, often under horrifying conditions, and generate enormous volumes of fecal and biological waste as well as other toxins. Weaving science, politics, law, big business, and everyday life, Kirbyaccompanies these families in their struggles against animal factories. A North Carolina fisherman takes on pig farms upstream to preserve his river, his family's life, and his home. A mother in a small Illinois town pushes back against an outsized dairy farm and its devastating impact. And a Washington State grandmother becomes an unlikely activist when her home is invaded by foul odors and her water supply is compromised by runoff from leaking lagoons of cattle waste. Animal Factory is an important book about our American food system gone terribly wrong---and the people who are fighting to restore sustainable farming practices and save our limited natural resources.

Reviews
"David Kirby's book,Animal Factory, is a beautifully written account of the danger industrial meat and dairy production represents to our health, environment and democratic process. In a unique and captivating way, Kirby reveals the consequences of animal factories through the eyes of the citizen advocates who have fought the long and hard battle to civilize the barbaric and often criminal behavior of the meat barons. Rick Dove, Karen Hudson, Helen Reddout, Chris Petersen, Don Webb and others featured in the book are real American heroes. Their stories are compelling, true and engaging. The time has come to end the greedy and destructive practices of animal factories. As the readers of Kirby's book will learn, nature's clock is ticking and much is at stake for the planet and all of its inhabitants. Each page of this book is filled with powerful information. It has all the makings of a number one best seller."--Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. 'Nature did not intend for animals to live and die in a factory assembly line. In David Kirby's startling investigation Animal Factory, he gives a human face to the terrible cost our health and environment pays for this so-called 'cheap food'. This is a story that is seldom told and rarely with such force and eloquence.'--Alice Waters "The industrial production of farm animals is a grim saga of pollution, health risks, and animal misery. Yet inAnimal FactoryDavid Kirby has put together an ingenious book that is highly readable and engaging. The heroes of his book are fighting for a better America -- one in which waters are safe to drink, air is safe to breathe, and traditional family farmers are the sources of our food. Anyone who reads this book will be drawn into their cause."--Bill Niman (Founder, Niman Ranch) and Nicolette Hahn Niman (Author,Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms)"This book puts a human face on a well hidden national scandal: the effects of large-scale raising of animals on the health and well being of farm workers and their families, local communities, the animals themselves, and the environment which we all share. By examining how CAFOs affect the lives of real people, Kirby makes clear why we must find healthier and more sustainable ways to produce meat in America." --Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University, and member of the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production "Hurray to David Kirby for exposing the horrific conditions that are so prevalent at America's factory farms. When I first confronted the realities of factory farming some ten years ago, I knew that I did not want Chipotle's success to be based on the exploitation that I saw. While few people actually have the chance to see firsthand where their food comes from,Animal Factoryprovides a vivid account of the system and the harm that it causes." Steve Ells, Founder, Chairman & Co-CEO, Chipotle Mexican Grill "Animal Factorytells how big agribusiness' industrial meat production is leaving our communities foul with unhealthy air, awash in untreated sewage, and increasingly buffeted by bacteria made resistant to the antibiotics. Anyone in search of why America's health care system is going bankrupt will find part of the answer in these pages."--David Wallinga, MD, Food and Health Director, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy "Animal Factory, by David Kirby, documents the scandal of today&, "Remarkably fair-minded, both sober and sobering. Like Sinclair's and Schlosser's work, it has the potential to change the collective American mind about contemporary food issues. It deserves a wide audience, despite — or because of — the fact that it might be the most frightening book of the year."--NPR David Kirby's book,Animal Factory, is a beautifully written account of the danger industrial meat and dairy production represents to our health, environment and democratic process.
