Summary
Now, perhaps more than ever before, we are aware of the ethical choices we make each time we eat. This anthology explores issues such as genetically modified foods, animal rights, population and consumption, pollution, centralized versus local production, vegetarianism and more.

Introductions and study questions help you to prepare for reflection and discussion on these significant and noteworthy issues.
