In part two of our discussion, Ruth Reichl and I get into how the American government has played a major role in corrupting our food system.
Food is a source of nourishment, joy and autonomy for a lot of people – but in her new book, Ruin their Crops on the Ground, Andrea Freeman also tracks how the U.S. government has used food policy as a form of control and oppression. In today's episode, Freeman speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how the book's title can be traced back to an order given by George Washington to destroy the food source of Indigenous nations, and how from slavery to Got Milk? campaigns to school lunches today, there's often a bigger political agenda behind nutrition education.

**Below is AI-generated (with some editing) **Discover the commerical forces shaping our health as Dr. Mélissa Mialon describes the intricate web woven by large agri-food companies to influence health policies and sway public opinion. Our latest episode is a deep dive into the world where corporate interests meet public health, uncovering the stealthy methods these corporations use to assert their agenda. Dr. Mialon guides us through the labyrinth of systemic racism and the convolutions of the current healthcare system, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, while offering actionable strategies to dismantle these harmful influences.Grapple with the double-edged sword of corporate social responsibility; is it a genuine effort towards societal betterment or a smokescreen for deeper systemic issues? Dr. Mialon aids us in peeling back layers of corporate strategies to reveal the true motivations behind initiatives that often present themselves as benevolent. Our conversation takes a critical turn towards the interplay between capitalism and public welfare, stirring a debate on whether a capitalist system can ever truly align with the interests of public health over profit. We also address the imperative need for transparency in the corporate influence on public policy, highlighting global approaches to democracy that can either impede or foster progress.In conclusion, we reflect on the collective power of grassroots movements. The episode leaves listeners inspired by the influence that dedicated individuals and communities can exert on holding corporations accountable.

What's the future of food?Last year, two of my former podcast guests had a long and very public disagreement about the politics of food, locking horns over the utility of farming in a densely-populated world. Activist and writer George Monbiot has written extensively about lab-grown food and the need to revolutionise our food systems with technology so that we can better feed everyone. Farmer and academic Chris Smaje has argued that farming is a critical component of community autonomy, and wrote a book in response to George's own, Regenesis, criticising the vision as “eco-modernist”. George hit back that Chris' proposal is a “cruel fantasy”.I watched this unfold online, worried to see two experts disagree so deeply on something fundamental to how we organise society, and invited Chris back to talk about this second book, Saying No To A Farm-Free Future. Chris explains how our food production systems are emblematic of our crisis of relationship to the earth. He argues that de-materialising our food supply plays into the colonial history of uprooting people from the land and denigrating agriculture. This leads us to discuss land, language, and culture, decentralising power, and the political binaries that could be dissolved by grounding our thinking in the land.Correction: The previous version of this interview stated that the debate between George Monbiot and Chris Smaje was around lab grown meat instead of lab grown food.

Acclaimed author C Pam Zhang's latest novel, “Land of Milk and Honey,” is set after smog blocks the sun, killing 98% of commercial crops and 12% of the human population in famine. Bland mung powder is eaten by all but the very rich, who continue to eat lavishly. As the protagonist — a chef who decides to work for the rich to again taste real food — recalls, “A world was gone. Goodbye to all that, to the person I'd been, to she who'd abandoned, half-eaten, a plate of carnitas under blaze of California sun. It wasn't grease I missed so much as the revelation of lime. Waiting on grief, I met hunger.” We'll talk with Zhang about portraying hope in an apocalyptic novel, the interconnections between food, class, culture and climate change, and the meal she'd want to eat if it felt like the world was ending. Guests: C Pam Zhang, author of the novels, “Land of Milk and Honey" and “How Much of These Hills Is Gold." Zhang was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award, long-listed for the 2020 Booker Prize and named a National Book Foundation "5 Under 35" Honoree

Your Heard Tell Show for Wednesday, September 20th, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the politics of food, specifically food deserts, and what two examples of one urban and one rural food deserts and the discussion around them have in common, including that there are no good answers to this pressing problem made worse by folks trapped in their priors instead of problem solving the issue. We go to the UK and our friend Ben Harris returns to Heard Tell to talk about his perspective on Rishi Sunak, roiling Chinese spy scandal that was right down the hall from where he works in parliament, cost of living and housing crisis, young people "brain drain" possibilities, and Ben defends the UK's proposed "American XL bully" dog breed ban with our host, and pit bull owner Andrew. Then our guest is Victoria Snitsar Churchill of Young Voices who has been tracking the Liberty Safe controversy as gun owners react to news that Liberty's gun safes have a "backdoor" code that was given to law enforcement, and how a company that heavily advertises to specific, passionate customer base is setting up it's own failure when they don't meet the ideals they are putting in those talk radio spots. Plus, Victoria talks responsible gun ownership, 2nd Amendment narratives, and the one thing that issues like gun rights and immigration have in common that keep both issues always going in the news media and social media debates, but never solved. We end on a good note as we have a story about a Karen - no, not that kind of Karen - an exceptionally good Karen that a whole community rallied behind.All that and more on this episode of Heard Tell.--------------------Heard Tell SubStack Free to subscribe, comes right to your inboxQuestions, comments, concerns, ideas, or epistles?

Edible South -The Cultural Politics of Food and Cuisine AgBioFEWS Cohort 3 Organized Guest Panel with: › Marcie Cohen Ferris, PhD, Interim Director, Center for the Study of the American South at UNC-Chapel Hill › Michaela DeSoucey, PhD, Associate Professor of Sociology at NC State Abstracts Marcie Cohen Ferris' work examines how evolving food cultures in North Carolina and the larger American South speak to the region's complex history, culture(s), and struggle for racial justice, food equity, food sovereignty embodied in the powerful voices of a contemporary generation of farmers, food makers and creators, activists, scholars, policy makers, consumers, and more. Michaela DeSoucey's exploration of ‘food culture' requires us to acknowledge the complexity and paradoxes of the memories, desires, emotions, and debates that ‘flavor' different ingredients and dishes. She will discuss what a cultural sociological lens brings to the contemporary study of food culture, focusing on boundaries and ethics as markers of social differentiation.

Sim Cheuanghane is a multidisciplinary artist, curator and DJ who recently wrote an anthropology thesis entitled "Food as Practice: Navigations of Chinese Diasporic Identity Through Food Making and Sharing". This work explores the Chinese diaspora and the role of food in the process of re-connecting and re-constructing individual and collective identities and forging solidarity. Through their work, we learn how food takes on meaning beyond nourishment — to signify movement, pleasure, connection, emotion and even a form of protest for racialised people. Sim's work is rich with emotion, story and taste- so we are excited to have them them speak to it. In this interview, Sim mentions a zine on Chinese Protest Recipes, which can be found here. This episode was hosted by Darren Lesaguis and Sara Khan with special guest Sim Cheuanghane. It was produced and edited by Shareeka Helaluddin. Cover image: a portrait of Sim courtesy of the artist.

In Hungry for Revolution: The Politics of Food and the Making of Modern Chile (University of California Press, 2021), Joshua Frens-String explores the modern history and political economy of food in Chile, from World War I to the rise and fall of the Allende socialist regime in the 1970s. Drawing together a diverse cast of characters and weaving together a wide range of sources, Frens-String demonstrates that the struggles to create a more just food system shaped modern Chile and its expansive social welfare state prior to the Pinochet's coup d'état and the implementation of the Chicago Boys' economic neoliberalization policies. In addition to the dynamics of class and gender in the consumption politics of Chile, Hungry for Revolution is particularly attentive to the different problematics of feeding the urban working classes and dismantling rural estates, and of creating durable socialist regimes and systems of food justice.

Marion Nestle describes her new book as “a small, quick and dirty reader for the general audience” summarizing some of her biggest and most influential works. Let's Ask Marion: What You Need to Know About the Politics of Food, Nutrition, and Health published September 2020 by University of California Press, was written in conversation with Kerry Trueman, a blogger and friend. Trueman's questions served as prompts to organize Nestle's 800-1000 word summaries in approachable and engaging prose. Readers familiar with Nestle's groundbreaking Food Politics will recognize many of the ideas and information, but this new pocket-sized and affordable volume serves as an introduction for undergraduate students or readers new to Food Studies. However, Nestle does cover some new material in her explanation of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, especially the campaign for Zero Hunger. Nestle also summarizes how nutrition advice has changed in the last few years by thinking about food in categories ranging from unprocessed (corn on the cob) to ultraprocessed (Nacho Cheese tortilla chips). This reevaluation makes it easier to identify foods that are acceptable to eat without excessive focus on micronutrients. In the conversation, Nestle addresses the ethics of marketing food to children, food as a human right and access in the Covid era, the possibility of a National Food Policy Agency, the politics of food banks, and the promise of regenerative agricultural practices. Nestle concludes by talking about the pleasures of food and eating and how to establish a “loving relationship” with food that doesn't include fear, guilt, or anxiety about nutrition. Marion Nestle is the Paulette Goddard Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health, Emerita, at New York University, and the author of books about food politics, most recently Unsavory Truth. Carrie Helms Tippen is Assistant Professor of English at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, where she teaches courses in American Literature. Her 2018 book, Inventing Authenticity: How Cookbook Writers Redefine Southern Identity (University of Arkansas Press), examines the rhetorical strategies that writers use to prove the authenticity of their recipes in the narrative headnotes of contemporary cookbooks. Her academic work has been published in Gastronomica, Food and Foodways, American Studies, Southern Quarterly, and Food, Culture, and Society. Lindsay Herring is a first-year M.A. Food Studies Candidate at Chatham University. She loves historical cookbooks, food policy and activism through history, and vegan baking. Personally, she enjoys theatre, singing and traveling (someday again!). Archish Kashakar is a chef and culinary educator who is currently a second-year M.A. Food Studies Candidate at Chatham University. He works with the program's research offshoot CRAFT as a Food Lab Graduate Consultant and also serves on the board of the Graduate Association of Food Studies as a Social Media Manager. He is currently working on his thesis that traces the history of Singaporean street food dishes and their development in a post-World War II era. Follow on Twitter @archishkash.
