Summary Current discussions of the ethics around alternative food movements--concepts such as ""local, "" ""organic, "" and ""fair trade""--Tend to focus on their growth and significance in advanced capitalist societies. In this groundbreaking contribution to critical food studies, editors Yuson Jung, Jakob A. Klein, and Melissa L. Caldwell explore what constitutes ""ethical food"" and ""ethical eating"" in socialist and formerly socialist societies. With essays by anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers, this politically nuanced volume offers insight into the origins of alternative food movement.
