@thexylom I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon this concise, clear essay of the importance of #Food, #Health & #FoodPolitics
@Glastronomer I really enjoyed researching and writing it! It's off for evaluation. I used Dorothy Smith's materialist ontology to examine discourse and subject making in food production and procurement. By examining practices as suggested by Smith, we gain a better understanding of the significance of CSA as well as its link to more conventional protests. Very cool stuff! #PhDLife #ThesisSubmitted #FoodPolitics

There is something poetic about being in the final stages of editing my thesis on the micropolitics of CSA as the first box of the season arrives! Scapes, salad, and significance simultaneously!

"Shame is never motivating and what we eat is not a cipher for morality"
Brilliant article by Rebecca Seal about eating, fear of fatness, inequality, and the toxic culture of moralising people's food, health, and bodies. Spot on analysis 🎯

The real cause of skyrocketing food prices is corporate greed and market concentration—and one group of farmers has the receipts.
The National Farmers Union (NFU) has submitted data to the House of Commons agriculture committee which details how much retail food prices have risen compared to the prices that farmers receive for their goods.

‘Supply chain bullying’: Inside the food fight between Canada’s grocery giants and their suppliers
Food producers say Loblaws, Sobeys, Metro and Walmart charge fees and penalties so high, some suppliers are going bust. Grocers say fees and chargebacks are standard and the cost of doing business.

Those lashing at 'wokeism' just want to flaunt a supremacist identify. Such branding isn't tone-deaf, this is catering to caste pride and what speaks caste more than food?

As Grocery Stores Get Bigger, Small Farms Get Squeezed Out
Will a Kroger-Albertson’s merger put more money in the pockets of retailers, making it even harder for small and mid-sized farms to access markets?

Digging through interview transcripts, an interviewee is reflecting about how challenging #FoodProcurement is with small kids. I responded : 'its hard with small kids, I appreciate that'.
Not shown in the transcript is that my youngest was in a stroller next to us for the interview.
#AcademicParent and #PhDLife are not easy but I am a better, albeit slower, scholar for it.

Wrote down some thoughts on why I find a particular type of comfort in Cantonese food. Predictable plot twist: it's got nothing to do with fried rice, everything to do with belonging.
