Are all the ingredients used in our cupcakes ethically grown and transported? We are not sure where all of our ingredients come from, they could possibly be grown from overseas. They could have food kilometres on them and that's not good. Is the choice of a cupcake a socially ethical good choice? No because they can be really unhealthy and make people sick depending on how many they eat. It is a snack food and a luxury food to people like us who can get our hands on almost any food we want. Some people in other countries that are poorer than Australia don't have much food at all, and we have so much food that we can just eat whenever we want. 'Food kilometres' describe what your understanding is of this term. Relate to cupcake recipe. Food kilometres relates to the distance that the food or ingredients has traveled to get to its final destination. It also relates to the cost of the transport that is added on to the price of the product. |
