On the other hand, sustainably raised meat presents something of a middle ground.
That's what's under discussion at In Search of a Righteous Porkchop this Thursday, Oct. 29, at 6:30 p.m. Panelists include Nicolette Hahn Niman, an attorney, West Marin rancher, and author of Righteous Porkchop: Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms; David Evans, fourth generation rancher and owner of Marin Sun Farms; and Aaron French, chef at The Sunny Side Café in the East Bay, and ecologist and author of the forthcoming The Bay Area Homegrown Cookbook. Elanor Starmer, a researcher and policy analyst for the national consumer advocacy organization Food and Water Watch, moderates.
