1 I would like to thank an anonymous referee for prompting me to clarify this distinction in the way care ethics have been written about with reference to paid domestic work.

2 I have been researching paid domestic employment in the UK for more than a decade and have been particularly interested in the interplay of gender, race/ethnicity and migration regimes, with the content of the work – tasks that are denigrated and appear to denigrate those who do them. This work has been supported in part by a Nuffield Foundation Social Science Small Grant SGS 00466/C (see Cox 2006). My work on food production/consumption is part of an AHRC/ ESRC funded project within the Cultures of Consumption programme (Ref RES-143-25-0005) with colleagues we worked with both producers and consumers involved in small scale food schemes that allowed direct contact between producers and consumers.
