Digesting Food Studies—Episode 114: Flexitarianism
https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2469363/

Are you a carnivore? A vegan? A frugivore? Or do you fall in between categories of eater, identifying more as a flexitarian? As we learn from this episode’s guest author, Kelsey Speakman, flexitarianism is a complex space of food making, ethical and multispecies relationships, and marketing rhetoric.

Kelsey’s article on the subject, “Beef, Beans, or Byproducts? Following Flexitarianism’s Finances,” comes from Vol. 11, No. 4 of Canadian Food Studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i1.638). And sandwiching this meat-alternatives theme are Alexia Moyer on a powerful kitchen implement, and Milka Milicevic on the power of true alternatives in eating.

I’m rereading the 1952 #ScienceFiction classic #TheSpaceMerchants by #FrederikPohl and #CMKornbluth before teaching it again this summer. It’s always been compelling, but wow, it hits different in 2025.
