We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer

3.0

I was expecting this book to be a more in depth study of the impact of animal farming on the environment. Instead, it felt like a journal to me. Ideas felt disconnected from the main theme (lots of family memories that did not quite relate to the environment or animal farming at all). The book also lacked more detail on how exactly we could help slow down climate change and the negative impact of mankind’s greed on natural resources. It was an interesting and entertaining read as far as memoirs go, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who’s looking for in depth information about animal farming and its impact on the environment. “Eating Animals” does a better job at that.
