It's the season of fresh produce and farmers' markets. And in Oregon, the concept of sustainable food production is something many people take seriously.

But does it matter where your food comes from? Does it make a difference what you eat?

Today we're examining where food comes from and what the moral responsibilities of consumers is when it comes to raising, selecting, and buying those meals on the table.

Host: Christy George

Guest: Peter Singer, Princeton bioethics professor and author of "The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter"; and Michael Pollan, author of "The Omnivore's Dilemna: A Natural History of Four Meals"
