Here’s an enormous opportunity from the environmentalists over at Grist to talk to a whole lot of people about how you really feel about eating animals. The intermittent “Food Fight” series, in which writers are chosen to represent various sides around contentious food-related issues, is going to focus on the moral and ethical issues raised by the consumption of animals. If you have been waiting for your audience, here is your chance. This is how they describe the project:
“We know there are a lot of Grist readers out there with very strong feelings around eating (or not eating) meat, whether from factory- or farm-raised animals. So, for our next Food Fight debate, we’re going to convene leaders from the ‘Never!’, ‘Whatever,’ and ‘Sometimes’ camps to discuss how they handle this moral and ethical calculus. If you would like to participate, send an email with your qualifications and links to three writing samples to Food Editor Bonnie Powell [you can reach her at bpowell(at)grist.org]. The Food Fight will begin via email this month and be published in early January.”
