ABSTRACT

This chapter does five things. First, it clarifies my position on the proper assessment of ordinary consumers. Second, it explains why I think it’s hard to say what positive obligations people have regarding their diets: the problem of moral uncertainty looms large. Third, it briefly summarizes the overall argument of the book. Fourth, it explains we might not regard my conclusion as particularly consequential. Fifth, I make some suggestions about how we might do better with respect to diet, even if we aren’t obligated to eat in any particular way. In short, I suggest that we should adjust our diets in response to harm footprint-, signaling-, and implementation-based considerations.
