Paul B Thompson

From Silo to Spoon

Local and Global Food Ethics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Paul B. Thompson addresses ethical issues in food ads, local diets, food labelling, agricultural pollutants, and sustainability in five new essays that pick up where his book From Field to Fork left off. Thompson places his examination of the issues into the context of contemporary pragmatism, agrarianism, the philosophy of race, and the relationship between persuasive speech, social control, and open-ended ethical inquiry.
