#82: It’s no secret that food and nutrition is traditionally taught through a white-centric lens. In this episode I’m joined by Hanna Garth, a food anthropologist and professor and author of Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice to talk about the underlying problems of food inequality as they pertain to race and culture.
If you’ve ever wondered how a food swamp differs from a food desert, or what the term food apartheid actually means (...and why it’s preferred over food swamp and/or food dessert), this episode has some answers for you.
Hanna is helping parents learn to speak about food and culture to our kids in a way that challenges the rhetoric of nutrition and food that needs to look or be a certain way in order to be “normal” or “healthy”.
Listen to this episode to learn:
- The racist connotations of the term “food desert” and why “food apartheid” is a preferable alternative
- How parents can challenge the rhetoric of nutrition and food that needs to look or be a certain way in order to be “normal” or “healthy”
- The “why” behind her book Black Food Matters: Racial Justice in the Wake of Food Justice and what it means for parents today
