“Vegan rocker Moby's literary foray Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety (Thinking Twice About the Meat We Eat) gnaws convincingly on a trending American topic: meeting your meat. But unlike similar efforts (Food Inc., Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals, and Michael Pollan's brilliant Food Rules), Gristle plays with its food. There's an eye-opening fact section, and illuminating interviews with rockers, celebs, and other public figures regarding their sometimes not-so-altruistic reasons for booting the burger.”

Note:
This event takes place at the Skirball Cultural Center.
Moby presents and signs Gristle: From Factory Farms to Food Safety (Thinking Twice About the Meat We Eat). For the book, Moby and Miyun Park brought together 15 of the country's leading voices on this issue — including foodies, policymakers, food business leaders, and food activists — who eloquently lay out how and why the over-consumption of industrially produced meat unnecessarily harms agricultural workers, communities, the environment, human health, as well as animals. Combining hard-hitting facts with a light touch — plus fascinating charts and illustrations depicting the stark realities of America's industrial food system.
