the facts arent enough

It seems through the book that lack of knowledge isn’t as big of a hindrance to getting people to change to more ethical diets that convenience. Many people believe that knowledge and awareness in the public of the problems with animal injustice in the food industry will evoke change in the way people buy food. However even with this knowledge, change isn’t a given. Jake was aware of some of the environmental and animal injustice caused by big agri-corperations as explained by Peter Singer and through her prior knowledge, but it hasn’t changed her shopping habits; “Isn’t it a sad thing when are morals become so dispensable” Jake. The argument for Jake and Lee is that they are of the blue collar working class and are so occupied with making a living to support their family, they have little time to think about ethical choices. They also don’t have the money to purchase the expensive food where animals. On the other hand, Jim and Mary are highly aware of the injustice of animal treatment in the food industry, Jim edits an environmental online journal. They both have high paying jobs and have money to spend. But because of their busy lives, they only buy a limited amount of animal friendly foods. “I have so much work that I need convenience, if I had more time I’d probably make better ethical choices” Mary Ann. This evidence shows that in order to create a change in the way we eat, we need to do more than just expose the agri-corperations because people won’t easily change their lifestyles.
