The Ethics of What We Eat
Food ethics: veganism, vegetarianism, food not bombs, oxfam, corn-ethanol subsidies, locavore movement, organic vs. conventional, philosophical arguments for and against eating meat, etc.
Rethinking the Meat-Guzzler
“Global demand for meat has multiplied in recent years, encouraged by growing affluence and nourished by the proliferation of huge, confined animal feeding operations. These assembly-line meat factories consume enormous amounts of energy, pollute water supplies, generate significant greenhouse gases and require ever-increasing amounts of corn, soy and other grains, a dependency that has led to the destruction of vast swaths of the world’s tropical rain forests.”
The tragedy is that factory farming survives despite the widespread agreement that whether we are primarily concerned about animal welfare, our environment or our health, it is ethically indefensible.

3 Is Veganism Good For Everyone?: Room for Debate
I’d only recommend if you want to see an example of the New York Times doing a TERRIBLE job starting a discourse on food/food ethics/nutrition.
These people are not qualified.
Lots of articles in New York Times about food ethics yesterday. Will link them.
