Food makes philosophers of us all. Death does the same . . . but
death comes only once . . . and choices about food come many times
each day. In The Ethics of Food, Gregory E. Pence brings together a
collection of voices who share the view that the ethics of
genetically modified food is among the most pressing societal
questions of our time. This comprehensive collection addresses a
broad range of subjects, including the meaning of food, moral
analyses of vegetarianism and starvation, the safety and
environmental risks of genetically modified food, issues of global
food politics and the food industry, and the relationships among
food, evolution, and human history. Will genetically modified food
feed the poor or destroy the environment? Is it a threat to our
health? Is the assumed healthfulness of organic food a myth or a
reality? The answers to these and other questions are engagingly
pursued in this substantive collection, the first of its kind to
address the broad range of philosophical, sociological, political,
scientific, and technological issues surrounding the ethics of
food.
