Following the pattern of _From Field to Fork_ (OUP, 2015) Paul B.
Thompson provides a highly readable and up-to-date analysis of
contemporary ethical issues connected with food. Thompson reinterprets
Peter Singer's work on famine relief in light of the history of
funding development assistance through food aid, defends locavore
diets against philosophical critics, and analyzes the ethics of food
labelling in light of J.S. Mill's _On Liberty_. Further exploring
today's key ethical questions about food, Thompson compares
anthropological and toxicological approaches to pollution and defends
a revised notion of agricultural sustainability. These topics provide
an entry point for a novel approach in practical ethics that blends
pragmatist philosophy of language, historical interpretation of
agrarian thought, and recent philosophical writings on race and
structural racism.
