Abstract
Appeals to consumer's identifications with certain foods and food choices in a variety of media contribute to narratives that focus on the subject of food choices at the exclusion of larger issues in the food system. Rather than focus attention on consumers and the point of consumption, I argue that acknowledging the political nature of the food economy and forging alliances is essential to generating changes that will enable progress toward food democracy. I offer several models of groups with divergent philosophies finding common ground from which to lobby for meaningful, systemic change.
