Description
Book SynopsisFood, Ethics, and Society: An Introductory Text with Readings presents seventy-three readings that address real-world ethical issues at the forefront of the food ethics debate.
Trade ReviewThis would be extremely useful for undergraduate courses in food ethics or contemporary food issues. It would work well in courses on contemporary issues in food systems. The topics are excellent. * Marion Nestle, NYU *
I would absolutely recommend Food, Ethics, and Society. It's the best existing textbook on food ethics, edited by an excellent group of philosophers. It is both accessible to undergraduate students and intellectually serious. * David Plunkett, Dartmouth University *
This is the only genuinely broad treatment of food ethics out there. Food, Ethics, and Society is broad in scope, thoughtfully edited, and features excellent written content. * Christopher Schlottman, NYU *
