false 29377 7 Peter Singer, the groundbreaking ethicist who may be the most controversial philosopher alive (The New Yorker), now sets his critical sights on the food we buy and eat: where it comes from, how its produced, and whether it was raised humanely. Teaming up once again with attorney Jim Mason, his coauthor on the acclaimed Animal Factories, Singer explores the impact our food choices have on humans, animals, and the environment. In Food Matters, Singer and Mason examine the eating habits of three American families with very different diets. They track down the sources of each familys food to probe the ethical issues involved in its production and marketing. What kinds of meat are most humane to eat? Is organic always better? Wild fish or farmed? Recognizing that not all of us will become vegetarians, Singer and Mason offer ways to make the best food choices. As they point out: You can be ethical without being fanatical. 213660 2 5 2006 The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter total:547|5:180|4:246|3:102|2:19|1:0| 547 2228 1130 139 4 3 false false Sun Dec 07 03:07:54 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 07 03:13:28 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 2 false false Tue Sep 30 07:51:50 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 07:53:47 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Mon Sep 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 21:27:56 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 01 09:16:15 -0700 2008
