Food is the moral right of all who are born into this world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Food tells you everything about the way people live and who they are.
It is important what you eat now, what you do now. If we were interested in a sustainable planet where other generations have a right to a decent future, we would not live like this.
When you look at food as an ethical issue in the Christian tradition, you don't find very much about it. You don't find, as you do in the Jewish or Islamic or Hindu traditions, a lot of restrictions saying you can eat this but you can't eat that.
Food is not just what we put in our mouths to fill up; it is culture and identity. Reason plays some role in our decisions about food, but it's rarely driving the car.
I was brought up to think a lot about food and have respect for it, both as medicine and something to eat and enjoy.
By virtue of being born to humanity, every human being has a right to the development and fulfillment of his potentialities as a human being.
Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.
We take food for granted, but it isn't a luxury for many people.
It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life.
Whatever anybody eats is their business. I'm just a vegetarian because I personally want to be. If my sons want to go have a steak... then that's their decision. But coming from my hand, as their mother, I have to give them what I feel is good for them. I don't take a stand morally. This is for myself.
