Assignment #G — Ethical biography of a food item

Select some particular food item (a PET bottle of water, a can of coke, a McDonald’s Big Mac, a serving of locally grown walnuts, a Starbucks coffee drink, etc.—choose whatever you like) and provide an “ethical critique” concerning the production and consumption of this thing. Your analysis should attend to considerations like: animal welfare concerns, environmental costs, treatment of workers, impact on human health. Express your findings as a poster, a picture of the food item in the center and facts you found about it in the surround. In small and inconspicuously placed text, provide a URL for any references you used and state any assumptions you had to make. Upload your poster to Canvas as a pdf by dinnertime Wednesday.
