These posts take a look at the connection between ethical consumerism and health, two topics that are often connected. The good news is that there is often a pretty good correlation between the two: The foods that are best for our planet often rank as the healthiest foods, and vice versa.

Sometimes, however, fad diets and industry-sponsored misinformation send us in the wrong direction. I examine a few of these topics, such as campaigns to misinform the public on two of the most sustainable categories of food that our population currently relies on: carbohydrate-rich foods and legumes.

Ultimately there is an alignment between ethical consumerism and our health, and that (as Gandalf would say) is an encouraging thought. See also the Ethical Shopping Guide category for many more posts on the ethics of food, including a series on plant-based meat substitutes.
