179: Looking at How We Eat to Understand Power & Social Movements with Amber Husain
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">When it comes to talking about food, we often to choose to look at what people are eating rather than how. And it's this distinction that today's guest, Amber Husain, explores more fully in her new book, <a href= "https://www.booksellers.ca/books/tell-me-how-you-eat-food-power-and-the-will-to-live-9781668060315?a=2344"> <strong>Tell Me How You Eat: Food, Power and the Will to Live</strong></a>.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Amber is a writer based in South London, UK. In addition to Tell Me How You Eat, she has also written Meat Love and Replace Me. Her essays on politics, literature, and art have been published in Granta, The New York Times, Baffler, and more. She has a PhD from UCL in the history of art and mind-body medicine in the late 20<sup>th</sup>-century Britain. She teaches history of art, creative writing, and criticism. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">In today's conversation, Amber explores some of the ways that appetites can be re-examined, and challenge persistent tropes of eating that narrow down to individual choices. Using socialist and feminist lenses, she speaks to food movements and moments in history that have revealed reasons to eat and live, and the empowerment that comes from using food as a question rather than an answer.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Resources:</span></strong></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Book: <span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"><a href= "https://www.booksellers.ca/books/tell-me-how-you-eat-food-power-and-the-will-to-live-9781668060315?a=2344"> <strong>Tell Me How You Eat: Food, Power and the Will to Live</strong></a></span></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Amber's Website: <a href= "https://amberhusain.com/">https://amberhusain.com/</a> </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: Century Gothic, sans-serif;">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/amberhusa1n/">@amberhusa1n</a></span></li> </ul>

178: What Makes for "Good Food" for Immigrant Women in British Columbia? with Isabela Bonnevera
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Sustainability is a word you hear a lot, but it tends to go uncritically examined in application. So what can it encompass when it comes to food experiences, particularly for immigrants and newcomers to Canada? My guest this week, Isabela Bonnevera, is here to unpack this further. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Isabela is currently a doctoral researcher at ICTA-UAB and engages with participatory methods to explore how immigrants are shaping sustainable food transitions in cities. She also examines how sustainable food policies impact food justice outcomes for immigrant communities. She's the co-founder of Feminist Food Journal, and we work together on Feminist Food Friend events as well.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">This week, Isabela is here to explore the more participatory elements to her research. Using a method called photovoice, she has worked with a group of immigrant women in the Vancouver area to dig into the question of what makes food sustainable—or more accurately, what is "good food" and what does sustainable really look like when the word doesn't always translate into diverse cultural experiences with food? We speak to how this bottom-up approach ties into the broader policy frameworks, the findings of their photovoice explorations, and its implications for filling policy gaps. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Resources</strong>:</p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://linkedin.com/in/isabela-bonnevera/?skipRedirect=true">LinkedIn</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.bcnuej.org/projects/the-good-food-project/">Good Food Document and Videos</a> </li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.feministfoodjournal.com/">Feminist Food Journal</a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://www.anthrodish.com/episodes/isabelabonnevera">Previous AnthroDish episode!</a></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"> </span></p>

177: How Can Appetites Be Shaped for the Future? with Alicia Kennedy
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">When it comes to thinking about the future of food, is it possible to re-imagine our individual and collective appetites around what we want it to be? Taste is subjective, sure, but it's also deeply embedded in the land, histories, politics, and sociocultural dynamics we navigate throughout our lives. And as my guest this week, Alicia Kennedy, writes, our tastes are also shaped by how we value (or don't value) ingredients and their own histories. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Alicia is a writer from Long Island. She is the author of No Meat Required: The Cultural History and Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating, and <a href= "https://www.booksellers.ca/books/on-eating-the-making-and-unmaking-of-my-appetites-9780306836336"> <strong>On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites</strong></a>, which is out officially as of today through Hachette. Her newsletter, From the Desk, covers food, culture, politics, and media, and she is launching Tomato Tomato, a literary journal of food writing, in 2026.</span><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Alicia is back on the show today to speak about On Eating, exploring the process of weaving the personal and cultural histories of ingredients through her chapters, the interrogation of early appetites and their influence on her food writing, the dynamics of feminine appetites in food media, and the importance of properly considering the labour of growing and producing food as a way to unpack Western appetites.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Resources: </span></strong></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Book: <a href= "https://www.booksellers.ca/books/on-eating-the-making-and-unmaking-of-my-appetites-9780306836336"> On Eating: The Making and Unmaking of My Appetites</a></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"><a href= "https://www.aliciakennedy.news/">From the Desk</a> newsletter</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://alicia-kennedy.com/"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Website</span></a></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://tomatotomato.xyz/?utm_campaign=you-say-tomato&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=www.aliciakennedy.news"> <span style="font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Tomato Tomato</span></a><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;"> magazine </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-family: 'Century Gothic',sans-serif;">Instagram: <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/aliciadkennedy/">@aliciadkennedy</a></span></li> </ul>
