“Snacks are joyful! They’re the ultimate comfort food. They’re familiar, they’re quick, they’re casual.” This week, Doug Mack, the researcher and writer behind
, takes us on a reflective voyage to learn about what snacks say about us - historically, culturally, socially, and economically. Who knew that when you stare deeply into the snack abyss, the snack stares back?
The Power Dining Podcast digs into the power structures, power moves, and power dynamics in the world of food. Every other week a new guest joins host, Kae Lani Palmisano, in a conversation about how the complex relationships we have with food, its impact on us and the world, and the unexplainable beliefs about food we just can’t seem to shake.
