The trend toward local foods reflects the changing nature of space due to new communication technologies. Vegetarian theory capitalizes on biotechnology's challenge to the meaning of species. And food politics, as this book makes powerfully clear, is actually about the political anxieties surrounding globalization. In this book, the author argues that our culture's obsession with diet, obesity, meat, and local foods enacts ideological and biopolitical responses to perceived threats to both individual and national sovereignty. Using the occasion of eating to examine assumptions about identity, objectivity, and sovereignty that underwrite so much political order, the author explains how food functions to help structure popular and philosophical understandings of the world and the place of humans within it. He introduces the concept of digestive subjectivity and shows how this offers valuable resources for rethinking cherished political ideals surrounding knowledge, democracy, and power. 606 $aDiet$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aFood industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aDiet$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aFood industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 676 $a338.1/9 700 $aLavin$b Chad$f1972-$01722857 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807296603321 996 $aEating anxiety$94123600 997 $aUNINA
