Thank you so much for having the courage to speak out about your former teacher,Marion Nestle, and her stance on RFK. I couldn’t helping thinking of the quote, “The student has become the master”.
I have Food Politics sitting on my shelf, but I've never actually read it! Any suggestions for books on food policy that are more nuanced and less triggering for people with an ED?
Great question—I think that whole genre is potentially triggering, though I’m curious if others have recommendations I may not have come across. I know Julie Guthman’s book Weighing In: Obesity, Food Justice, and the Limits of Capitalism presents a strong critique of typical approaches to food policy (and particularly Michael Pollan’s views…I can’t remember if she mentions Nestle), but I remember there still being some weight stigma and potentially triggering ideas about food in there. Could be worth a look if you read it critically and don’t feel too easily swayed by those things, but otherwise maybe skip.
