Alan Richman, GQ’s Food and Travel writer spent 30 days trying to dine ethically. An article in the July GQ titled “Eat No Evil,” describes his quest. I think that my favorite is “If you have to eat in airports, don’t.” Another is “Transform your front lawn into a garden (be prepared for neighbors to consider you a fruitcake– or worse, a European).” (Ooops, here is a photo of our front lawn garden.) The article is not online but he has distilled some of his conclusions down to these ten commandments.
I found this remarkable info-graphic yesterday. How much more clear can you make this issue?
