ABSTRACT
Editors’ Note: In many ways this chapter might be read more as a narrative to be analyzed than an analytical contribution to ‘doing nutrition differently.’ We say this for a number of different reasons – the chapter was not written specifically for the volume, but actually many years before its conception, and perhaps because of this Fallon’s writing connects up with some of the thematic tabs of the book – e.g., race and colonial – in ways that have been considered problematic by others in the volume (see Harris, this volume). Still, Fallon’s work has had significant influence in challenging the hegemonic approach to dietary advice in the US in recent years – e.g., for ‘radical homemakers’ connecting up with our women tab (see Cadieux this volume). By including her chapter here we both acknowledge this influence and move to examine more closely some of the underlying themes evident in her writing (colonial, race, science, and women). We do this in order to explore how the successes of Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation might better contribute to a decolonized dietary and nutrition practice.
