Surprising Ethics
What should parents feed their kids? Meat, or vegan? | w. Dr Fischer & Dr Fredericks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do we craft a diet in the child’s best interests? That’s the question Rachel Fredericks and Jeremy Fischer set out to answer, leaving behind the usual arguments about climate and animals. These two ethicists combined philosophy, psychology and nutrition science and came up with an intriguing answer. Turns out, what makes a diet good for a kid is about so much more than just food. It’s about moral development, identity, ideology, and learning how to choose for yourself. We put this ideal diet to the test with a panel of six parents, to see how the authors' ethical arguments might play out in the real world.
