Abstract

The notion of ethical food is now part of everyday discourse, representing more
socially and environmentally responsible ways of sourcing and producing all
kinds of food products, and, most importantly, of labelling these products to
communicate their ethical credentials to potential consumers. These ethical
credentials extend to the continued, albeit ‘better’, use of animals for food, and
it is this conception of ethical that I critique in this chapter.
