In addition to health concerns, people make food choices for ethical and religious reasons. Some ancient religions asserted that killing animals was wrong, a belief that persists among modern vegetarians and vegans. Some twenty-first-century consumers shun meat from factory farms-where animals are crowded into stalls and fattened up with antibiotics and hormones. An increasing number of people seek out foods grown locally, especially those raised without chemical pesticides, using agricultural methods that keep the soil healthy and do not waste water. As Earth's population grows, chefs, nutritionists, and scientists are considering how to feed the world. The future of food includes insect-based foods, 3-D-printed meals, and crops that cangrow inside buildings. What do you choose to eat and why? This book will help you make decisions to support your values.
