The Unitarian Universalists have named Ethical Eating: Food and Environmental Justice as the Congregational Study and Action Issue for 2008-2012. As an old sceptic of General Assembly Resolutions I find the Study and Action process to be much more productive than simply passing resolutions, congregations are able to dig into the issue and try to both understand the issue and find ways to address it. Given the gathering world crisis in food production and distribution, coupled with the destruction that chemical agriculture is doing to top soils and ground water taking action on "Ethical Eating" is critical.
Here is a resource for Ethical Eating that I will be distributing to members of my congregation during our discussion of the implications of food, and how we eat it for the world we long to live in.
