Objectives
After reading the assigned chapter and reviewing the materials presented the students will be able to understand:•What constitutes a sustainable diet?•What are the medical, social, and environmental consequences of the standard American diet?•What is the relation of industrial hog farms to sustainability?

The Ethical Gourmet (fig 28-1, page 307)
• Sustainability embraces the triple bottom line of people, prosperity, and the planet and includes the goal of social and economic justice.
• The American diet includes more meat (over 200 pounds per person annually) and this is encouraging industrial streamlining of the process by which animals are raised for slaughter.
• This in turn has led to inhumane living conditions for cows, pigs, chicken and dangerous working conditions for employees.
• The American diet has led to an epidemic of coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

The Sustainable Diet
• Sustainable agriculture is a way of raising food that is healthy for consumers and animals, and does not harm the environment, is humane for workers and animals, provides a fair wage to the farmer, and supports and enhances rural communities.
• Eighty percent of soybean harvest is eaten by animals.

Coastal Population Growth of Hogs
• Coastal North Carolina has quietly become one of America’s most important centers for hog raising and processing.
• Hog factory farms confine animals in stalls with eight square feet of floor space per animal in metal buildings.
• The floors are slatted metal through which feces and urine fall.
• Spills from sewage lagoons are common.

For Further Thought
• Confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are usually windowless, crowded, and polluted factories where animals are treated like production units rather than animals.
• In 2001, U.S. per capita carbonated soft drink consumption was 49 gallons.
