Two days ago, Sam Heller denounced sustainable food as a “luxury good” to which a “bogus moral component” has been attached (“YSFP meals impress, but at great expense,” 10/2). He writes that “eating sustainable food does not make you a humanitarian.” I agree. This is akin to saying that eating a hamburger does not make you an animal hater. On an individual level, food choice is rarely a definitive statement of moral identity.
