  2. Digesting Food Studies—Episode 114: Flexitarianism
    rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

    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 (doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v11i). 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.

  4. A Shared Lunch! Next to share her lunch is Chloe Alexander, whose article in Vol. 12 No. 3 of Canadian Food Studies addresses food loss and waste as it meets jurisdiction. How do the federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments in Canada address food loss and waste? And are there alternative ways to interpret jurisdiction and amend and improve governance? canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.

    On a small scale, Alexander’s lunch demonstrates the author’s personal preoccupation with food waste reduction. It’s made of leftovers! "...from a get together with friends—handmade pasta with a tomato/eggplant/mushroom sauce, topped with ricotta and parmesan cheese." (“Yum!” —ed.)

    From the personal, Alexander’s article deftly walks readers through the systemic. Read and find out more: doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i
