Peter Singer, the groundbreaking ethicist whom The New Yorker calls the
most influential philosopher alive teams up again with Jim Mason, his
coauthor on the acclaimed Animal Factories, to set their critical sights
on the food we buy and eat: where it comes from, how it is produced, and
whether it was raised humanely.
The Ethics of What We Eat explores the impact our food choices have on
humans, animals, and the environment. Recognizing that not all of us
will become vegetarians, Singer and Mason offer ways to make healthful,
humane food choices. As they point out: You can be ethical without being
fanatical.
