Feb 3: Confab #54
In a continuation of our discussion about all things food, Confab #54 attempts to consider the ethics of our food culture. Is the production of foie gras (which requires force feeding a duck or goose) worse than the ultimate killing of that same duck or goose for its flesh? Do we over produce food, lending to large-scale food waste? How much are we ethically obligated to know about the food we eat? They are all serious ethical questions that get to the very heart of a universally shared experience, and bring us to the equally serious question about our favorite meals.
This show was recorded during the January 24, 2008 Confab.
