This book has been written for those of us who are on the go, busy, in a waiting room, an aircraft, commuting or just wanting a quick read with a coffee. You should be able to read each story in under five minutes. The stories do not have a common theme - some are amusing, some sad, some about relationships, some are based abroad or in a different time - but all encapsulate the human condition.

How are the animals we use for food reared, fed and slaughtered? The chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese; the laying hens, quail and pheasants; the pigs, lambs, dairy cattle, beef cattle, and veal calves; the fish and shellfish; the goats, dogs and horses? Today's Freaks goes behind the scenes of factory farming. It shows how farm animals are treated as if they were merely inanimate agricultural products - and bred to be so unlike their natural selves that they have become, in effect, freaks.
