Concepto de bienestar animal. ¿Animales: valiosos o dignos?
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2014)
Covadonga Torre-Marina, María

Campus Ciudad de México
A strong tendency related to food production that cannot fail to be addressed is the ability to guarantee "animal welfare." The significantly diverse cultural beliefs and values about the nature of animals influence the way they are treated. Cultures differ in the priority they give to various aspects of animal welfare, such as basic health and nutrition or the elimination of pain and suffering. However, the perception of animals as "sentient beings", backed by modern science, which is beginning to spread through the scientific and veterinary education, gives new impetus to animal welfare surveillance (FAO, 2009).

El dilema del omnívoro: criterios recientes.
(Hospitalidad ESDAI, 2013)
Covadonga Torre-Marina, María

Human beings have always been plagued by the "Omnivore's Dilemma". On one hand we like the fact of innovating, trying new foods, but we tend to avoid them because it exposes us to many risks. Humans are omnivorous, but selective. From what is available we must classify things as edible or inedible and preferably, desirable and affordable. Not everything that is biologically edible is culturally possible: food does not consist only of nutrients but also of meanings, it does not only fulfill a physiological need, but also a social one, which is generated in the cultural environment in which we live, develop and eat. Anthropologists say that the strongest identity resemblance traits of people and communities are language and food. On what criteria do we classify food as edible or not? There is no single easy answer to this dilemma, addressed at different times by Rousseau, Brillat-Savarin, Paul Rozin and more recently by Michael Pollan. However, it is no longer inconceivable for the XXI century man to lose sight of "animal welfare" in food production. The perception, backed by modern science, of animals as "beings with feelings", provides a new paradigm when choosing food. Another recent influential food trend, is the "low carbon diet" which refers to choosing a lifestyle that reduces greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy consumption during the production, packaging, transport and food preparation, in order to avoid the negative impact on the environment that contributes to global warming. This translates into being "localvorous" a term that refers to consumers concerned about sustainability who prefer products that have been grown or purchased locally [up to 100 miles away], a trend that may be an incentive for local development.

Ética para matador : Savater, los toros y la ética
(Universidad Panamericana. Facultad de Filosofía, 2014)
Ortiz-Millán, Gustavo
En este artículo analizo los principales argumentos del libro Tauroética de Fernando Savater. Él afirma que existen argumentos morales a favor de las corridas de toros, por lo que ser taurino es una opción ética legítima. Aquí sostengo que está en un error y que los argumentos morales no tienen la fuerza que él les adjudica; puede haber razones económicas, políticas o de otro tipo a favor de las corridas, pero no hay razones morales. Afirmo, en cambio, que sí hay razones morales fuertes en contra de las corridas que se basan en que los toros son objeto de consideración moral, es decir, tienen un estatus moral independiente de nuestros intereses. A partir de esta premisa examino y objeto, bajo una perspectiva ética, otros argumentos de Savater.
