Topics like food scarcity and disparity are making the notion of ethical edible innovations that much more important for the modern consumer. Ranging in variation of social good, there are some that support disparate communities while others focus on making the world a healthier place for both its inhabitants and itself.
The consistent discussion of social issues in the news and on the street level are making consumers second guess their choices when it comes to what they consume. It's no longer a question of whether or not it's healthy, but if it's going to positively or negatively affect others or the environment. As the movement grows strong, it's clear that this collection of ethical edible innovations will only grow in size.
