Foer's message is both moving and painful, depressing and optimistic
Publisher's Weekly
Read this book. Saving Planet Earth starts right here, right now
Stella McCartney
Jonathan Safran Foer has laid down an urgent challenge with this book. Thought-provoking, humane and incisive, We Are the Weather confronts our personal entanglement in the climate crisis through the food on our plates. A necessary book about the way we eat and the enormous difference our daily choices can make.
Julian Hoffman
A warning: this is a life-changing book and will alter your relationship to food forever
Observer
Safran Foer's new approach, measured and moderate, gives me hope
Observer
Since I finished the book I have been following his advice. I hope others will too. The future of the planet is in our hands - or rather, it's on our plates
The Times
Foer's new book urges the reader gently towards incremental adjustments - the idea being that if enough of us observe them, difference can be made
Monocle
We Are The Weather: Saving The Planet Begins At Breakfast is optimistic not because Foer minimises the crisis, but because of his claim that ordinary people have a chance of ameliorating it . . . I have not had meat at lunch since I read the book, and that makes me feel even better than having solar panels.
The Times
In a style rarely found in books about global catastrophe, [Foer] interweaves personal stories, bulleted factoids and a delicious serving of metaphor. The effect is dazzling.
The Washington Post
Eye-opening . . . In this follow-up to his influential Eating Animals, [Foer] brings both personality and passion to an issue that no one has figured out how to address in a way that inspires an adequate response.
The New York Times Book Review
Beautiful, powerful writing that's made me rethink the way I eat.
