Breaking false dichotomies and feeding the whole world
This morning, I came across this TED talk by Louise Fresco, "On Feeding the Whole World." I found it to be a great way of contextualizing the current agricultural moment, de-romanticising the the agrarian past, and clearly refutes the idea that someone obese people are in any way "causing starvation." She also highlights the idea that while for those who can afford it, "going artisan" is laudable, it won't solve the larger problems faced by current and future food needs.
