Fakta

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The author’s mother said that the photograph of her father had no meaning, and that it was just a flat piece of paper with dark spots on it. The author explained to her that the photograph was a soul-shard of someone departed, and that she should cherish it as long as she lived.

#2 I do not feel any sense of guilt when I slice up and eat tomatoes. I do not go to bed uneasily after having consumed a fresh tomato. I do not believe it is meaningful to try to imagine how the tomato felt as it was sitting on my plate being sliced apart.

#3 I had a summer job at age 15 punching buttons on a Friden mechanical calculator in a physiology lab at Stanford University. I was asked to bring down two animals for my friend’s next round of experiments. I fainted right away, and the next day, I was told not to do that again.

#4 I was 21 when I read the Norwegian-English writer Roald Dahl’s short story Pig, which changed my life and the lives of other animals as well. It showed me that meat-eating was a common background fact in the lives of my friends, and that vegetarians were strange and sternly moralistic nutcases in my mind.
