tracing the foods each of three different families consume back to their sources and report the impact our food choices have on humans, animals, and the environment.Born in Australia, Peter Singer has been a professor at Princeton University since 1999.

He was the founding President of the International Association of Bioethics and founding co-editor of the journal "Bioethics" with Helga Kuhse.
