Food, Justice, and Animals : Feeding the World Respectfully PDF
by Josh Milburn
Description
How would we eat if animals had rights? A standard assumption is that our food systems would be plant-based.
But maybe we should reject this assumption. Indeed, this book argues that a future non-vegan food system would be permissible on an animal rights view.
It might even be desirable. In Food, Justice, and Animals: Feeding the World Respectfully, Josh Milburn questions if the vegan food system risks cutting off many people's pursuit of the 'good life', risks exacerbating food injustices, and risks negative outcomes for animals.
If so, then maybe non-vegan food systems would be preferable to vegan food systems, if they could respect animal rights. Could they? The author provides a rigorous analysis of the ethics of farming invertebrates, producing plant-based meats, developing cultivated animal products, and co-working with animals on genuinely humane farms, arguing that these possibilities offer the chance for a food system that is non-vegan, but nonetheless respects animals' rights.
He argues that there is a way for us to have our cake, and eat it too, because we can have our cow, and eat her too.
