GSG Ethical Eating Task Force
News Flash - Draft Statement of Conscience on Ethical Eating - We Need Your Comments and Vote
What is ‘Ethical Eating’?
Our current food production system is unsustainable and unhealthy for us, for the Earth, for local economies, and for our spiritual well being.
If you:
- consider the personal, societal, ethical, and spiritual implications of your food choices;
- seek a more just and equitable food system;
- are concerned about the health and environmental consequences of how your food is produced; and/or
- wish to purchase food and eat according to principles that have a positive impact on the above as much as possible;
then you are an ethical eater.
The purpose of the Ethical Eating Task Force is to raise awareness and develop action plans to bring about positive changes in how food is produced and brought to our table. The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) study guide for the Study Action Issue “Ethical Eating” provides the framework for our activity.
We invite collaboration with individuals, religious institutions, and organizations that would like to join us in our efforts. You are welcome whether or not you eat meat, vegetables, raw food, fast food, or slow food. And you do not need to be a member to work with us.
