THIS WEEK on Feminist Magazine with host Lynn Harris Ballen : Welcome to our first ever Food and Feminism conversation!
We’re so excited to be starting this – conversations with chefs, activists, farmers and cooks. We’re looking forward to talking to all kinds of Feminist foodies … that’s all of us who grow, prepare and love food … in a feminist kind of way. So yes, Food is a feminist issue!
FIRST … Alicia Vogl Saenz invites us to listen in to a ‘courtyard conversation’ with her friends and neighbors – chef Diep Tran and writer Tien Nguyen, co-authors of The Red Boat Fish Sauce Cookbook. Tien has been writing about food and culture for nearly a decade and is the co-author of ‘LA Son’ with Roy Choi. Diep was the chef and owner of Good Girl Dinette in the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. We hear about their family food roots, who food writing is for, worker rights, making a restaurant work for everyone, sustainable local food, and those lists of female chefs.
Subscribe to Tien’s monthly food and labor newsletter time and a half, and read writing from Diep here.
AND … It’s World Water Day today. Water is critical to maintaining the balance of all life on Earth. The UN estimates that each person needs about 50 to 100 liters a day for drinking and washing. It must be safe, accessible, and affordable. Some corporations claim ownership of fresh water sources to bottle and sell for profit. Others use water as a tool to extract oil and gas from the ground.
In this episode of Making Contact, hear from communities fighting to keep big water bottling companies out of rural Oregon, and to protect water from oil and gas contamination in New Mexico. Featuring Julia DeGraw – Former Northwest Organizer, Food and Water Watch.
Wednesdays at 7 on KPFK 90.7FM and kpfk.org
