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.
