Animal Factory: David Kirby Coming to Eastern Iowa
“Naturedid 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 pay for this
so-called cheap food. This is a story that is seldom told and rarely
with such force and eloquence.” – Alice Waters
