So, I appreciate all the information contained within. It's all US based so I would have to do my own research to find if there are Canadian equivalents. The free range/humanely treated animal products certification breakdown was very helpful because of the way some labels end up meaningless but feel good. With a motivated and well-off reader I'm sure better food choices can be made using this book. In the back of my mind however is a little voice that says “if we really want to support argobusiness that is healthier for us, humane for animals, and safe for the farm labourers - why aren't we looking at systemic solutions? ie: policy and legislation. Why allow cows that are treated with human antibiotics to be sold at all? Or pesticides that damage the bodies of the human harvesters/food workers?”
We should do both obv. but individual approaches to climate change feel so pointless sometimes, and exclusionary if you don't have the time/money/access to heathier options. I'm not going to ask a restaurant how they source their meat.
The slavery fishing thing came up again - how did I just completely miss this news story?
