Eat the rich: class struggle begins on the plate - Nora Bouazzouni

If the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas, the flapping of a private jet at Le Bourget airport has repercussions for a rice farmer in Thailand... Our food, globalized and commodified, is at the mercy of a system of organized scarcity that creates the illusion of abundance, and where overproduction benefits a minority who, supported by the political class, gorge themselves at the expense of the working classes. The house is burning down, and they're watching the timer to see when it's done! Yet food is a powerful tool for social transformation, essential to the class struggle, which is also a struggle of the pots and pans. From ministerial feasts to food aid, from truffle burgers to land grabbing, from the patenting of life to the monopoly on good taste, not to mention fatphobia, agribusiness, the Nutri-Score system, and health scandals, food is a pleasure for those who can afford it, but also an instrument of power and coercion, leaving the most vulnerable hungry. After Faiminisme (2017) and Steaksisme (2021), Nora Bouazzouni poses the crucial question: what if the time has come to eat the rich? Eating the rich means feasting on their privileges, tackling the disease rather than the symptoms, and finding the recipe for a fairer world for everyone. And what's more, it's zero waste.
