ABSTRACT
Political-economic and racial inequalities have systematically disadvantaged the ability of many groups and individuals to participate as equals in the foodservice marketplace. Moreover, the absence of public oversight over the food system has not heralded the disappearance of governance and an upsurge in personal liberty; rather, it has ushered in an era of corporate governance. In drawing attention to each of these issues, I seek to situate the ethical decision-making of policymakers, hospitality managers, and foodservice professionals in social context.
