It argues that, in its purest form, food is about security, with love learned through recipes, people healing from grief through sweet food memories, and reconnecting with the land. * Foreword Reviews *\u003cbr\u003eIt’s easy to think about ethical eating as a diminishment, to think that we need to reduce our lives in order to save the planet. As anybody who has ever attempted change on ethical grounds in their lives knows, it can be hard; it can be awkward; it can be frustrating. It can also be singularly gratifying and joyous. While we don’t have a definitive solution to “How do we eat ethically?”, the voices brought together in \u003ci\u003eGood Eats\u003c\/i\u003e begin the work of piecing together an answer. * Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Eating Animals *\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGood Eats\u003c\/i\u003e, authors from all walks of life relate their daily struggles—moral as well as economic—to eat diets that promote human and environmental health and meet deeply held principles of food equity and social justice. Their accounts of these struggles are sometimes funny, always moving, and entirely recognizable by anyone trying to eat ethically. * Marion Nestle, author of Slow Cooked: An Unexpected Life in Food Politics *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409063715159,"sku":"9781479821778","price":62.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781479821778.jpg?v=1730505300","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/good-eats-9781479821778","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
