Clip: “Good food” and “good parenting” idealise a white middle class model of family nutrition(ep 2)
"Ultimately I’m looking at food and parenting or “good food” and “good parenting” are used to promote what I think is a white middle class model of family and nutrition which unfortunately often is not achievable for the people to whom these messages are promoted.... I argue that this idea of good food is inherently moral and it’s interesting that children who are meant to be the people to whom the policies are doing good seem to be ignored a bit in the policy discourse...and furthermore I was quite surprised that women still carry a lot of the burden of doing the food work at home."
