The Idea of Real Food with Professor Charlotte Biltekoff
How are processed and natural contested categories - rather than objective definitions- of food? These questions are at the center of Professor Charlotte Biltekoff’s new book, Real Food, Real Facts: Processed Food and the Politics of Knowledge. Joined by a special guest, Dan Polsby of Best Friends Wine, to introduce our tasting and complicate “real” wine, we discuss food science, industry, and the Food Inc. documentaries.
Tasting: Sfera Bianco, 250mL can
Viewing: Trailers for Food Inc. (2006) and Food Inc. 2 (2024)
