The document discusses the concepts of "ethical food" and "ethicurean". It outlines the mass production dilemmas facing the food system and different certifications and policies used to govern ethical food. An ethicurean aims to consume food ethically while considering environmental and animal welfare impacts. Slow Food and fair trade movements also aim to shorten supply chains and transform inequitable conditions for food producers. While legislation and certification aim to incentivize ethical production, their effectiveness is limited and a social change may be needed to better balance food ethics and mass production.
