Contents:
Redescribing food from the perspective of feminist methodologies / Ileana F. Szymanski -- Moral, ethical, and just : rediscovering how to make public claims about food / Patricia Boling -- Implications of structure and agency for health and wellbeing in our ecologically constrained world : a focus on prospects for gender equality / Helen L. Walls, Colin D. Butcher, Jane Dixon, and Indira Samarawickrema -- Obesity, coercion, and development : food justice and the globalization of processed foods / Clement Loo and Robert A. Skipper, Jr. -- Toward a systemic ethics of public-private partnerships related to food and health / Jonathan H. Marks -- It, me, and we : a multi-path approach to environmental value and justice / Kendall J. Eskine, Darin J. Acosta, and Charles P. Nichols -- Indigenous food systems, environmental justice, and settler-industrial states / Kyle Powys Whyte.
Summary: As Brillant-Savarin remarked in 1825 in his classic text Physiologie du Goût, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are." Philosophers and political theorists have only recently begun to pay attention to food as a critical domain of human activity and social justice. Too often these discussions treat food as a commodity and eating as a matter of individual choice. Policies that address the global obesity crisis by focusing on individual responsibility and medical interventions ignore the dependency of human agency on a culture of possibilities.
