From Yeli
Think about the ways that vegetarianism in this chapter was used to uphold fatphobic and white supremacist ideas. What are some ways that these ideas linger? What can we do to make sure we are responsibly engaging with (and talking about) it?
From Laila
The modern phenomenon of vegetarianism has created an environment around the world that where some people feel it is okay to judge, morally punish, and cast guilt on the foodways of non-vegetarians, with an intolerance and ignorance that qualifies as racism- especially towards Black and indigenous peoples. We must remember large numbers of people still solely depend on what their surroundings offer, surviving as hunter-gatherers. In some areas where little or nothing grows people are often totally dependent on animals, fish, and plants both for food (and for making clothes and tools).
