Description
Summary:Other chapters consider consumer choices – Bottled Water or Tap?, Wild versus Farm‐raised Fish – or focus on particular diets – Popular Diets, Raw Food, Organic Food and Vegetarian and Vegan Diets. Sources for information on living conditions of farm animals in this chapter include works authored or published by an animal sanctuary, a co‐founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), and the organization United Poultry Concerns, another non‐profit focused on animal welfare. The authors generally refrain from inserting their own opinion on a particular controversy, and all of the chapters do provide insight into important health‐related information for those interested in recent hot topics surrounding nutrition and food.
