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.

Instructor:

Julie Vallimont is an educator at the Harvard Museum of Natural History and a graduate student in Environmental Management at Harvard University.

Dates: Wednesdays, April 15, 22 and 29 at 7:00 P.M.
Location: Workmen's Circle, 1762 Beacon St., Brookline

Cost: $30
