Tomorrow's summer Religious Education program will focus on "What is Ethical Eating?" For our activity we will make trail mix and hand decorated trail mix bags.
We will discuss the Unitarian Universalist Statement of Conscience on Ethical Eating, which was passed yesterday at the General Assembly in North Carolina.
The three-page statement calls on UUs to “eat ethically” by becoming aware of the ways that our food choices affect our health and the planet’s health. It makes references to industrial farming, condemns mistreatment of animals and workers in food production, encourages a diet based more on plants than animals, and invites all of us to seek out and advocate for food that is raised responsibly.
It invites congregations to work for “food justice” so that everyone can have “adequate, nutritious food.”
