My co-author, Jeremy Fischer, and I just published our latest joint article, “Caregivers, Kids, and Carnist Structural Injustice,” which you can find in the Journal of Applied Philosophy as part of a special issue about food, families, and justice.

This is our second paper about carnist caregiving (that is, caregiving that trains and encourages kids to regularly eat animal products). In it, we argue that existing social structures make it unreasonably difficult or unthinkable for many caregivers to avoid carnist caregiving. We make the case that these caregivers are unjustly induced and/or pressured into carnist caregiving. So justice requires reforming the social structures that systematically prevent caregivers from providing plant-based caregiving for kids.
