Abstract

This chapter provides a synthesis and reflection on the preceding chapters. In sum, my project finds that Tyson obscures their actions toward animals and the environment by talking about them abstractly or not at all. The chapter also reflects on possible future research as well as how change may be effected.

Notes

  1. 1.

    US federal law specifies that ads “must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence.” Enforcement of truth-in-advertising laws falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission with the same requirements regardless of where an ad appears (e.g., in newspapers, magazines, online) (Federal Trade Commission n.d.)

  2. 2.

    See my discussion of Henry and Milovanovic (1996) and Schwendinger and Schewendinger (1970) in Chap. 1.

  3. 3.

    Some small farms have adopted a “glass walls” approach, whereby all farm operations are observable to the public. Fair Oaks Farm is one such example (http://fofarms.com/).
