Grilled: Turning Adversaries into Allies to Change the Chicken Industry (Bloomsbury Sigma) - Hardcover

“This is a book about the power we all have to transform the world when we approach our enemies with an open mind and a compassionate heart. Its message could not be more timely or relevant!” ―John Mackey, CEO and co-founder of Whole Foods Market

“This book will change the way you see chicken––and our entire food system. Garcés's determination to reform one of the world's largest industries is nothing short of astounding. She is a force!” ―Rose Marcario, CEO and President of Patagonia

“An animal activist's journey to the “other side”––the chicken industry––proves that making friends out of foes is one of the bravest, hardest, and most effective ways to create change.” ―Joanna Lumley, OBE, actress, author and activist

“In this book and in life, Leah Garcés, a fellow vegan, transcends the dogma and single issue thinking that too often constrains the animal protection community. Her writing and her work combine a fighting spirit with a will to unite and move unlikely allies like farmers, farm workers, and even corporations. I'm proud to call her a friend and an ally in the movement for a truly regenerative and sustainable future where all animal lives are respected and allowed to live and thrive. The world needs to read Grilled and heed its important message!” ―David Bronner, CEO of Dr. Bronner's

“This book is inspiring to anyone who cares about animals and their suffering. But it's more than that. It's a crucial road map for any activist trying to make real change in the world. It'll teach you the counterintuitive lessons of how to spark a revolution by working with your adversaries.” ―AJ Jacobs, journalist, lecturer and New York Times bestselling author

“This searching, honest memoir shows us that reform is never out of reach.” ―Maryn McKenna, author of Big Chicken

“This is a fantastic book for anyone looking to learn more about the heartbreaking realities behind "cheap" meat and the solutions that are being put forth for the future. (5 stars)” ―Chad G., NetGalley

“Such an amazing book. It really is one of turning people who have nothing in common to being allies in a just cause. Give it a read. You might find yourself questioning what you believe. (4/5 stars)” ―Amanda Y., NetGalley

"Garcés story is about more than animal suffering. It’s about the core question of politics: the choice we face, every day, between condemnation and compromise. Whether your issue is health care or climate or civil rights or abortion or taxes or foreign policy, you’re faced daily with people working for a world you find repellent. What do you do when they’re the majority and you’re the minority? How do you maintain your own morality when the system itself is sick? When do you draw bright lines, and when do you erase the lines you’ve spent your life drawing?" - Ezra Klein, The Ezra Klein Show
