Eating Ethically (Food Matters) - Booklist
This volume in the Food Matters series addresses food production and consumption in the U.S., with an eye on factory farms. Felix clearly establishes that ethical food should be “produced without abuse to animals, the environment, or humans.” The animal rights chapter. . .will succeed in getting readers to question how their food is raised. Next, environmental concerns related to farm waste, pollution, transportation of goods, and overfishing are addressed. Finally, readers are asked to consider the treatment of farm workers and fair-trade practices. Seeking a balanced approach, each chapter discusses ethical and unethical farming practices and encourages readers to extend their research and make conscientious choices about the food they eat.
