In Vitro Meat: What Are the Moral Issues? --Contributors --IndexThis book explores food from a philosophical perspective, bringing together sixteen leading philosophers to consider the most basic questions about food: What is it exactly? What should we eat? How do we know it is safe? How should food be distributed? What is good food? David M. Kaplan's erudite and informative introduction grounds the discussion, showing how philosophers since Plato have taken up questions about food, diet, agriculture, and animals. However, until recently, few have considered food a standard subject for serious philosophical debate. Each of the essays in this book brings in-depth analysis to many contemporary debates in food studies-Slow Food, sustainability, food safety, and politics-and addresses such issues as "happy meat," aquaculture, veganism, and table manners. The result is an extraordinary resource that guides readers to think more clearly and responsibly about what we consume and how we provide for ourselves, and illuminates the reasons why we act as we do.California Studies in Food and CultureFoodbooks for my first business dinner.books for reluctant readers.books for restaurant owners.changing my diet.cooking diet.cooking.culinary techniques.culinary.easy to read.first date manners.food and cooking.food and culinary.food and hunger.food safety.food.good table manners.guide to cooking.history of food.how to act at business dinners.meatless meals.page turner.plant based diets.restaurant etiquette.safe food.table etiquette.vegetarianism.what is aquaculture.what is veganism.Food641.3Kaplan David M.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910781531403321The Philosophy of Food3743612UNINA
