Description
Book SynopsisBy intertwining ancient wisdom from Judaism, Christianity, and Islam with cutting-edge research, Jonathan K. Crane demonstrates that ethical eating is a means to achieve both personal health and social cohesion. Grounded in science and tradition,
Eating Ethically shows us what it truly means to eat well.
Trade ReviewAn accomplished ethicist and philosopher, Crane crafts a careful argument for what it means to eat well. Following a trajectory set by Michael Pollan and others, Eating Ethically is set apart by its interdisciplinarity, using biblical scholarship, nutritional science, biochemistry, and medicine to effectively buttress the idea that eating is an activity that resonates in both personal and social contexts. -- Benjamin Zeller, coeditor of Religion, Food, and Eating in North America
