Ethics of Eating: The Environmental and
Social Connections of the Food that We Eat
Over the past hundred years there has been a dramatic change in
the way that we grow, package, market, and prepare our food.
Fewer people cook at home and the role of food in our culture
has changed. Studies show that a majority of children don't
really know what they're eating or where it comes from. Farming
has become big business with big environmental impacts. Today we
hear of issues of such as genetically engineered foods,
declining seed diversity, the obesity epidemic, famine, the
labeling of organic foods, food safety, animal rights, and more.
We'll talk about the ecology of food, explore the ethics of food
production today, and talk about the food revolution of
tomorrow.
