Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 104: Infant Food Security
Whether you #breastfeed, feed with #babyformula, or do both, securing sustenance for newborns can be fraught. #Infant and #caregiver #foodsecurity is a multi-layered, multi-experiential reality, in the past and present. What will its future hold?

This episode features Lesley Frank on the “first food systems” of infant feeding, Natalia Alaniz-Salinas responding to Lesley’s article, “Finding Formula” (Vol. 5 No. 1 of CFS), and Alexia Moyer on the history of milk, including its price, positioning, and propaganda. Drink up!

Women, what would you do with the $22,000 per year you’ve not received for most of your adult life in payment or value (in time off) from upholding the patriarchy and capitalism so mediocre men who do fuck all can ‘lord’ it over you?
Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 103: Food Art & Material Practice
What can we learn about #foodsystems from making #art and getting our hands on the #materiality of food? Oh so very much!

Writer, artist, and psychotherapist Susan Goldberg discusses her artwork, poem, and reflection piece, “Milk and Bread” (Vol. 12 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and recent master’s graduate Caylie Warkentin weighs in with a perspective on material practice more generally. We touch on the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group (horg.com), which documents and categorizes bread bag ties—in all seriousness AND silliness. And, as Alexia Moyer shares, there are some fascinating parallels between #gender and #cutlery to be explored. Sink your tines into that!

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 109: Food Waste
Repurposing leftover Hallowe’en candy as farm animal fodder? It may sound wild, but as you’ll hear in this #podcast, it’s just one odd recommendation within the complex hierarchies of dealing with food waste…

This episode tackles food waste, an issue as old as #domestication. Food scholar Tammara Soma shares perspectives from “Critical food guidance for tackling food waste in Canada” (Vol. 9 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and PhD student Dante Gbejewoh offers his response to the piece, encouraging listeners to leverage the article’s diagram about #closed-loop #foodsystems. Alexia Moyer sneaks us back to a long-titled #historical #cookbook on household management, including its implications for #gendered labour.

"More than half of the work done by women in the period between the 16th and 18th centuries took place outside of the home, and around half of all housework and three-quarters of care work was conducted professionally for other households.
This picture has emerged following an extensive search of thousands of court reports and witness statements that describe the activities being undertaken by everyday folk."
