Transparency: We have the right to know how our food is produced.\u003cbr\u003e2. Fairness: Producing food should not impose costs on others.\u003cbr\u003e3.

Teaming up once again with attorney Jim Mason, his coauthor on the acclaimed Animal Factories, Singer explores the impact our food choices have on humans, animals, and the environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Eat\u003c\/i\u003e, Singer and Mason examine the eating habits of three American families with very different diets. They track down the sources of each family's food to probe the ethical issues involved in its production and marketing. What kinds of meat are most humane to eat? Is \"organic\" always better? Wild fish or farmed? Recognizing that not all of us will become vegetarians, Singer and Mason offer ways to make the best food choices. As they point out: \"You can be ethical without being fanatical.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Rodale Books","offers":[{"title":"The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter | Jim Singer, Peter; Mason | Hardcover | 9781579548896 | Used: Very Good | Wellness 1591154","offer_id":50642600689922,"sku":"1591154","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71Zz2RlrErL.jpg?v=1791252376","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/the-way-we-eat-why-our-food-choices-matter","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
