The Bioethics of Food

By jlutz99

ADVERTISEMENTS

Two recently published books discuss the bioethics of food.  Eating with Conscience: The Bioethics of  FoodEating2 by Michael W. Fox.  Fox discusses the inner workings of the national food industry, including the treatment of animals, the use of herbicides, the loss of topsoil, and more.  The second book is The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals by Michael Pollan. One of the most eye opening issues Pollan discusses is the issue of the prevalence of corn in the American diet.  He points out that in a basic meal like a hamburger, fries and a soda:  the steer are feed corn, the fries are cooked in corn oil and the soda is sweetened with corn syrup.  He reports that in a Omnivore 45,000 item grocery store a third of the items contain corn.  Pollan discusses the health and ethical impact of an agricultural corn monoculture.
