About the event
Eating orders tell us what/who, when, how, why, and if, we should eat. Eating orders shape who gets access to eat what/who, when, how, why, and if at all. Eating orders weigh us as “better” or “worse” than others. Eating orders measure our value with violent ideas such as “good/right/civil/clean versus bad/wrong/uncivil/dirty” eating. Eating orders appear similarly and differently across people, places and time periods. Eating orders interact with all aspects of everyday life (e.g., gender, race, class). We reject eating orders in all formations. This conference is a collective act of eating order resistance and movement towards revolution.
