Thank you for the shout-out! I loved this issue a lot. I think about the effect that supply and demand has on food all the time, and it was a treat to read your smart observations on that phenomenon.
I inhabit two worlds, the desert (Phoenix) and an island in Maine and I write mostly about food indigenous to Maine. How you weave together ancient grains and your nostalgic backstory and food indigenous to the desert and making food amends--not only aspirational but educational.
“I am concerned, though, when I see liberation trying to be made via the same machine that has brought so much injustice.” ...you know what they say about the master’s tools!! Excellent read, as always :)
Thank you for this thoughtful essay! I feel like this topic often gets tangled in conversations about cultural appropriation that don't ultimately lead to anything beyond outrage, so I appreciate that you included tangible steps we can take to further a discussion that is often repetitive.

Another problem with that NPR quote .. “America and Europe”-which America? America shouldn’t default to North America. Thanks for the article.
