The Ethics of Eating
The Gazette - Monday, June 23, 2008 (Montreal, Quebec)
"The Ethics of Eating" by: Monique Beaudin
Grocery shopping didn't used to be this hard.
For years I've had a weekend ritual, sitting at our dining room table, surrounded by cookbooks and cooking magazines, planning a week's worth of meals and drawing up a shopping list.
But for the past few weeks what used to be an enjoyable half hour has turned into a stressful damned-if-I-do damned-if-I-don't experience. That's what I get for reading.
It all started with Michael Pollan.
I love his food writing, devoured one of his recent books - The Omnivore's Dilemma - and was inspired by an Earth Day article he wrote to plant a vegetable garden in our shady back yard this spring.
But thanks to Pollan, an American author and frequent New York Times contributor, I can't pick up a carton of eggs without thinking of chickens crammed into tiny cages...

one problem with ethics of eating
by Talya Rotem

Great article.
It provides a lot of information for anyone who has yet to hear of Michael Polan. One (huge) problem I have is that ehtical/locavore eating is an option only for those that can afford it, or havetime to prepare or grow it themselves.
If you're on a budget, ethics take a back seat. For an immigrant, a single mom, an unemployed person, or a mentally ill person, none of these people can opt for Polan'sideas due to socio-economic obstacles.
