Faithful Food Choices
Faith and Food Choices
What we decide to eat can have worldwide implications. The choices
we make everyday about which foods to purchase, and where we make
our purchases from, are moral choices. As people of faith, we must
see to it that our individual consumer food choices, as well as
our public policies, alwaysput human needs ahead of economic profits.
When making food choices, we must protect the dignity of humankind,
the integrity of God's creation, and be particularly mindful of
how our actions affect the most vulnerable among us. Instead of
basing our consumer choices solely on what is the "best deal",
we are instead called to weigh the societal and environmental impact
of what we choose to buy. By being socially-conscious consumers,
we are actively witnessing to God's love and justice everytime we
buy food. See also the Faithful Harvest Campaign
