Locavores - Criticism

Criticism

The locavore movement has been criticized by Vasile Stănescu, the co-senior editor of the Critical Animal Studies book series, as being idealistic and for not actually achieving the environmental benefits its proponents claim. This critique has been responded to by Dr. Kathy Rudy, associate professor of women's studies and ethics at Duke University, in her article "Locavores, Feminism, and the Question of Meat" published in The Journal of American Culture.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    To be just, that is to say, to justify its existence, criticism should be partial, passionate and political, that is to say, written from an exclusive point of view, but a point of view that opens up the widest horizons.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    I hold with the old-fashioned criticism that Browning is not really a poet, that he has all the gifts but the one needful and the pearls without the string; rather one should say raw nuggets and rough diamonds.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
