Food as a tool of oppression

Food is so much more than what we eat. It is, of course, nourishment — the food we put into our body to fuel ourselves. It can be joyful, like the the smell of pancakes wafting through the house on a Sunday morning, or when loved ones gather around a feast at the dinner table.

Brilliant and curious

This podcast brilliantly captures many of my interests, questions and ponderings. As I feel somewhat limited in what I can share in my professional life )if it does not move with the narrative)- this podcast provides a platform for scholars/seekers to learn and then DO.
Nice!!
