In Chapter 3, Foer briefly addresses the problems that have arisen in the kosher food industry due to the industrialization of the slaughter process.The author displays the meaning the word of "animal" and what is considered to be a "human".The author focuses on what makes animals and people different from each other. Through out the chapter, Foer introduces new terms such as: Anthropodenial, which is the refusal to concede significant experiential likeness between humans and the other animals.(chapter 3; page 46). It allows the reader to begin to think what is the true difference between humans and animals and why is it socially acceptable to to eat animals and not humans.
He also points out that at one time humans were once considered animals. How are they better than other mammals and creatures? Foer also introduces a few of the methods we catch and manufacture our food. Bycatching, the process of catching several types of fish, and the battery cages used to contain chickens before slaughter. This not only adds to his ethos appeal towards the audience but also exposing the readers of the cruelty of methods used in the factorization of mass produced food.
