About the book
The Ethics of What We Eat follows the food choices of three families with contrasting diets. Singer and Mason investigate where the ingredients come from and the conditions under which they are produced.
Their inquiry connects supermarket and restaurant choices with animal welfare, labour, environmental effects and consumer claims. The comparison asks what conscientious eating involves when apparently simple purchases depend on complex supply chains.
Key ideas
- Tracing food from the table to production
- Animal welfare, labour and environmental effects
- Making informed and practical consumer choices
