PRAISE FOR
THE ETHICS OF WHAT WE EAT
‘Vital, urgent and disturbing.’
New York Times
‘Absolutely gripping reading. It’s made even more so by
the writers’ patient, often failed, attempts to interrogate 87
corporations that had manufactured a product the families had
bought. Also interesting are the lengths some companies go to to
avoid their gentle questioning. It’s Michael Moore without the
antics...The arguments in this riveting book descend on us gently,
as a mission—possible or otherwise—should we choose to accept it.’
Sydney Morning Herald
‘Accessible and well-researched...Singer and Jim Mason do not
judge or preach; they accept that for many people, for many
reasons, ethical considerations do not loom large when deciding
how to feed their families...this book will provide, yes, here it
comes, serious food for thought.’
Australian
‘Joining the dots from producer to plate, their book, The Ethics
of What We Eat, is a moral compass for those who care about the
impact of their food choices. Without proselytising, Singer and
Mason navigate questions of cruelty, the environment, economics,
culture and social justice...an excellent, detailed and engaging guide.’
Age
‘An absolutely indispensable book for anyone who thinks
about what they eat...[a] rare combination of a lively read and
thorough research and investigation. I cannot recommend it
highly enough.’
Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson,
author of When Elephants Weep
