Owned by a fashion designer & committed veggie it produces no food. In a world with 25k people dieing daily through malnutrition is this ethically acceptable?

About Me
- Free Range Vicar
- I'm the Agricultural & Rural Chaplain for the diocese of Worcester, and this blog is a little about the work that I do. I am essentially a "free range vicar" who ranges over Worcestershire & Dudley, tying to help churches understand what is going on in agricultural & rural life and working with agricultural & rural organisations (folk like the National Farmers Union, Country Land and Business Association...) so they know the church is involved and interested in rural life . I "roost" in the Martley area and if I'm not ranging elsewhere then I'm available to the local churches. I hope this blog will help folk to be in touch with what I'm doing. I'm open to suggestions.

Free Range Vicar,
This is a good question and one worthy of debate. Where does "citizen" responsibility start and individual freedom end?
If I ever work it out to the satisfaction of all parties, then I will let you know.

Ethics are always tricky; my immediate response was disappointment. Personal responsibility for life and action seems to have disappated with the advent of choice and 'rights'. On a sustainability argument, she losses. The artist may be preserving wild life and keeping farm land from development, but the means of her living does not justify the end of productivity on her land.
But, really, that was a rhetorial question you asked.

I'm not keen on rhetorical questions. I guess the reason I raised this question was that I come across (some & by no means all) vegetarians who assume that they hold the moral high ground & that the solution to world hunger, global warming... is that we all go veggie. I think the morality of vegetarianism is questionable.
