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.
