Food is War / Food is Peace

In Issue 09, we turn to how food is mixed up with both the world’s conflicts and reconciliations. You’ll meet Ukrainian soldiers eating gas station hot dogs on their way to the frontlines, Palestinian farmers and artists conserving traditional seeds amid Israeli invasion, and Minneapolis residents rebuilding their community and restaurants after ICE’s violent passage. However, we also enjoy food’s peacemaking powers via cheese-first diplomacy, radiation-laced agricultural creativity, and the wise words of a Buddhist nun who likes to get salty. That’s not all, there’s a lot more to ponder inside.
