SJOT and the UUFH Potluck Team encourage all to consider the ethics of food choices as you plan your Potluck contributions.

The 2011 UUA “Statement of Conscience on Ethical Eating and Environmental Justice” begins:

“Aware of our interdependence, we acknowledge that eating ethically requires us to be mindful of the miracle of life we share with all beings. With gratitude for the food we have received, we strive to choose foods that minimize harm and are protective of the environment, consumers, farmers, and all those involved in food production and distribution.”

The Statement concludes with these words:

With gratitude and reverence for all life, we savor food mindful of all that has contributed to it. We commit ourselves to a more equitable sharing of the earth’s bounty.
