These are my recommendations for the ethical eating article.

For the first citation, I wanted to add information talking about who was connected and a part of ethical eating.

For my second citation, I added a concern (GMOS) to the list and listed some concerns that come with it.

For my third citation, I added another concern which is culture because it affects the way people perceive "ethical" foods.

Ethical eating[edit]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ethical eating or food ethics refers to the moral consequences of food choices, both those made by humans and animals. Common concerns are damage to the environment, exploitive labor practices, food shortages for others, inhumane treatment of food animals, and the unintended effects of food policy. Ethical eating is a type of ethical consumerism. Ethical eating affects four different parties which are: animals, nature, producers and consumers. Each party has a part of the process of either producing or consuming food.[1]


Concerns[edit]

Environmental[edit]

..............

Policy[edit]

Many governmental food policies have unintended consequences.

Genetically Modified (GM) Foods[edit]

With the rise of genetically modified foods, the opinions from the public and experts has emerged alongside it. Concerns include but are not limited to the safety of GM food consumption, the disruption of natural evolution, potential benefits of GM foods insecurity, and the potential impact they have on ecosystems.[2]

Culture[edit]

The middle class ideologies and resistance to corporate culture have created an idea of healthy foods. This ideology is linked to a culture that focus on health, fitness and the physical body. Foods such as organic products are seen as healthy and ethical under this belief. Ideologies and cultures can create complex ideas on the way people perceive ethical foods.[3]
