Knowledge produced within science becomes more and more indispensably important in food-production. In a fundamental sense I see this as highly problematic. There is a difference in how science and the food-eater see nature that is both a difference in content and level of understanding. In general the debate about food ethics and food safety takes it for granted that science delivers knowledge about cause and effect while the public or professional ethicists make judgements about the favourability of the product. In this paper I use much space on explaining why I believe that the scientific knowledge is defined by an already fixed opinion of the ethical aspect of the product – an opinion that cannot be suspended. The levels of ontology and ethics are confused first and foremost because the ontology of science demands that these to levels should to be separated and not confused. This becomes especially apparent in debates about products originating from biological sciences, and I give some examples of how this leads out in absurd opinions about such products. It is crucial to understand the ontology of science, which I call “the anti-telos maxim”, to understand the discussions on bio-ethical and food safety questions.
