Savoring Alternative Food: School Gardens, Healthy Eating and Visceral Difference

In this challenging book, the author explores the contradictions and shortcomings of alternative food activism to demonstrate the importance of moving beyond a promotion of universal ＂shoulds＂ of eating, and towards a practice of food activism that is more sensitive to issues of social and material difference.
