I&#8217;m not overly concerned with animal ethics; I&#8217;m much more worried about the health problems that modern farming techniques create.  But the two frequently overlap, since, for example, a happier cow makes healthier beef.<\/p>\n<p>That said, this conference interests me more for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.princeton.edu\/~eating\/program.html\">guest list<\/a> than its topic.  Some of my favorite food authors will be there&#8211;and I don&#8217;t mean the the Ruth Reichl \/ Peter Mayle kind.  I mean the Upton Sinclair kind.
