Clip: Uncorrupted, unadulterated, 'good' food is *not* an everyday reality (ep 3)
"One of my main interlocutors is an older lady called Fupu, and she suggests that these agrochemicals have made the environment toxic, and that all food today is 'bhejal'. So actually in my research I look at the opposite of good food, through that of 'bhejal' food. While good food is maybe the norm, it is the corrupted, adulterated, impure foods that is the everyday reality of my interlocutors and of many Bangladeshis."
