ABSTRACT

Editors’ Note: This chapter engages the themes of colonial, discourse, emotion, race, science, and women. The chapter contributes to the project of doing nutrition differently by offering a vision of feminist nutrition that exemplifies the potential parallels between feminist activism and nutrition promotion. Drawing upon the theme of decolonization particularly, the authors move from a critique of white/Western “core” nutrition values to an articulated vision of how nutrition might be rethought, and repracticed, by way of feminist lessons on difference, discourse, decentering, and desire. The authors conclude by offering some brief examples of how feminist nutrition has been operationalized.
