Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 111: Lunch Box Identities

What is “Canadian food” and how does its interpretation affect our identity and sense of belonging—especially in primary and secondary schools?

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

This episode unpacks the packed lunch, in particular those that the kids of first-generation immigrants bring to school. Two articles from Canadian Food Studies are covered, both co-written by Yukari Seko, “Unboxing the bento box” (Vol. 8, No. 3) and “Feeding children while Asian” (Vol. 12, No. 2). And in response, PhD student Shay Quinn offers up several perspectives on meaning-making, involving research participants in research, and arts-informed methodologies.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 106: School Food Programs

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

With the creation of Canada’s National School Food Program, myriad questions, challenges, and opportunities arise. Student success, cultural identity, food provisioning, and economics are all at play. As Rachel Engler-Stringer tells us in this episode, ongoing research and reflection will be needed.

First, Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment reveals a number of lessons—some more useful than others—from Saskatchewan’s early 1900s school food planning. And in the After Taste, Penelope Stam responds to the focus article, “The case for a Canadian national school food program” (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i3) from Vol. 5 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 105: Indigenous Food Sovereignty

Although Indigenous food sovereignty has been attacked and eroded by multiple histories of colonial oppression, rebuilding it can happen—through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality.

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 110: Feminist Food Studies

Feminist studies and food studies have a fascinating history of difference, alignment, and emergence. This episode covers some of that span, from a laborious recipe for baked rice pudding (without eggs…!) to a themed issue of Canadian Food Studies (Vol. 5 No. 1) that is dedicated to feminist food studies (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v5i1). Lots of voices this week, including Jennifer Brady, Barbara Parker, Elaine Power, Liz Lovell, Steph Chartrand, and of course the inimitable Alexia Moyer.

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?

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

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!

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!

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

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…

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

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.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 102: Teaching about Food Studies

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

Learning about food and food systems goes way beyond classroom lectures, involving #power and #justice, #reciprocity and #listening, getting your hands into #soil and getting your heart in a roil. It’s a full mind-body experience!

This episode features Jennifer Sumner and Michael Classens, two leaders in critical teaching and learning about food systems—and guest editors of the Food Pedagogies issue of Canadian Food Studies (Vol. 8 No. 4)… Alexia Moyer explores the kinds of school environments that support food learning before post-secondary education, and in the “After Taste,” Eric Schofield responds to “Toward a Common Understanding of Food Literacy,” by Kimberley Hernandez, Doris Gillis, Kathleen Kevany, and Sara Kirk.

Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 101: Introducing Meat Studies.

rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

Carnivores, herbivores, omnivores unite! Meat Studies has something for everyone (including #pescatarians, #vegans and #frugivores. But is meat a product, a process, or both?

This episode features Élisabeth Abergel and Ryan Phillips, guest editors of the Meat Studies themed section in Vol. 11 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies. Alexia Moyer talks about the tools we use when eating meat—and how they have evolved over the year—and in the After Taste, grad student Emma Paisley responds to the article, “Meat politics at the dinner table” by Emily Kennedy, Shyon Baumann, and Josée Johnston.

Ok: it is time for No Bad Food Podcast’s annual MUNCH MADNESS, when we select the foods that will be part of a bracketed challenge to determine 2025’s food of the year. 2024 was all about rice, 2022-23 all about bread. Will we stay on the starch train or throw back to 2021, when our food was cheese? You decide! Cast your nominations here:
