An accessible and wide-ranging introduction to the philosophy of food, Thinking Through Food examines a variety of issues relating to food production and consumption. The book begins with discussions of the metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetics of food, then moves on to debates about the ethics of eating animals, the environmental impacts of food production, and the role of technology in our food supply, before concluding with discussions of food access, health, and justice. Throughout, the author draws on cross-disciplinary research to engage with historical debates and current events.
