The Ethics of What We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter by Peter
Singer, Jim Mason explores the impact our food choices have on humans, animals,
and the environment. Recognizing that not all of us will become vegetarians,
Singer and Mason offer ways to make healthful, humane food choices. As they
point out: You can be ethical without being fanatical.
This The
Ethics of What We Eat book is an excellent introduction for those who want to
find out more about where our food comes from. It is not preachy or aggressive.
Rather, it opens your mind to the various arguments, while still offering the
authors' views on the ethics of different food choices.
The text is very well-researched, from their own first-hand experience, talking to various farmers, as well as from the existing body of literature in science, dietetics, agriculture and philosophy.
No one could accuse this The Ethics of What We Eat book of being unduly biased. They note the arguments of producers and concede ground where it is appropriate to do so. For example, they note the way some vegans overestimate the amount of water that it takes to produce different types of meat and reach a compromise figure that they believe more accurately reflects the amount of water that goes into beef.

They
also respectfully recognise the pressures that lead people to make unethical
food choices and encourage a way forward without making people feel like
they're being whacked over the head with a moral stick.
