Michelle Besse’s Reviews > A Matter of Taste: A Farmers' Market Devotee's Semi-Reluctant Argument for Inviting Scientific Innovation to the Dinner Table > Status Update

I’m also finding the point on how those who are good insecure should not be forced to consume the scraps or waste or trash of those who are not.

Interesting points on how lab grown meat, while can be off putting, would reduce both water and land consumption, and the need for antibiotics.

Loving the point here as well - you will see that organic and farmer market labeled foods are often sold in gentrified areas where people can afford to consider the ethics of their food, as opposed to areas where people need to consider if they can buy fresh fruit and vegetables at all.

I appreciated the part of this chapter that pointed out that tying ethics to food can be harmful to those who cannot afford “ethical and clean” foods - pinning the idea that those who are poor are lazy and uneducated. I feel like this is a portion of the issue that is often overlooked by many - fast/junk/unhealthy food is often cheaper!
