Should We Eat
Compassionately?

Conclusion – Eating, Thinking, and Living

“…the way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the natural world. Daily, our eating turns nature into culture, transforming the body of the world into our bodies and minds.” ― Michael PollanThe Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals

At the heart of this conversation about how we eat and what we eat are deep questions.  As with most of the important questions of life, this debate starts in wonderment.  As we curiously examine our daily habits of life, we begin to find a great many issues that we have perhaps never thought about before.  This course has examined a number of possible solutions to several problems surrounding how we sustain our lives through food.  To end, or perhaps fuel further contemplation of, this discussion, Matthew Moore presents his TED Talk on how art can change the way we think about our food.  His point is simple and profound.
