CFS as food studies matchmaker? Yep! We’re putting together a book review and a memoir for your weekend reading pleasure…
https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v1i2.57

What are the true costs of an industrial food system? How can we get a better perspective by taking both an insider and outsider look at farming?

Try pairing Rita Hansen Sterne’s review of Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat by (Philip Lymbery and Isabel Oakeshott) with poet and journalist Brian Brett’s Trauma Farm: A Rebel History of Rural Life.

While the former unpacks cheap meat, the latter takes us to small, mixed farm on Salt Spring Island (BC). But should you name an animal you are going to eat? Brett’s solution is to give them all interchangeable names, rather than assign one to each individual. His pigs go by Bacon, Eggs, and Toast.

Bonne lecture!

"In order to counter the detrimental effects of UPFs [ultra-processed foods], Van Tulleken makes two recommendations. First, outlaw conflicts of interest on UK scientific and advisory bodies. And second, create effective warning labels on food products."

"Industrial meat is a major source of the emissions causing global warming. Eating it regularly, [#AliciaKennedy] argues, is unsustainable. Yet for many in the United States, meat has long represented security and prosperity; in the 1920s, Republicans promised voters 'a chicken for every pot'."
