Many essays, especially in the later sections, end with a question, hopefully getting us to think more about questions of ethics, conservation, and the puzzles posed by nature. The Checklist is more than a taxonomic listing of species and chapter number and title; it also contains useful notes on each bird family.

Beyond the environmental impacts of meat production there is a basic ethical issue involved. To suggest that eating one and not the other represents a conflict of ethics is preposterous. The fury this meal caused my friends and family back in America motivated me to examine whether eating any animal was justified.

I used to take every opportunity that crossed my path to explain--at length--the inaccuracy, inconsistency and lack of logic in such accusations, but I grew tired of doing that and didn't see how it could be productive.

The reasonable rates really do not adequately reflect both the level of comfort and the personalized service ethic. Frank runs very informative and productive day-trips from the lodge.

I'm not one of those people who thinks family is composed of only humans or humans who are biologically related. The idea of family is currently being used by the dairy industry in a series of commercials with the tag line: "99% of dairy farms are family owned." Buying dairy products supports them.

Yet he spends time describing the miserable deaths of day-old male chicks and understands what happens in dairy production, and I assume he doesn't partake of anyone's eggs or milk. He is against it for himself and his family. Tags: Activism Books Ethics Language. But why does he say "vegetarian?"

21, 2008 To the Editor: You rightly capture the magnitude of the problem of ensuring safe food products. Back in the olden days of the family farm we never knew about the occurrence of food-related illness because we did not have a way of tracking it.

However, many of our concerns about modern food production stem from purely emotional concerns, in which we try to overlay our social mores onto sectors where they traditionally haven’t been applied.
