Pasta. Olive oil. Polenta. Much of Italian cuisine today has come to be defined by staples like these and their associated dishes (with strict recipes and rules to boot!). Yet how did we arrive at these ideas? Karima Moyer-Nocchi is a food historian who looks at the development of the Italian culinary landscape. She discusses how the traditions of “authentic Italian cuisine” are more cultural invention than fact, revealing that beliefs about authenticity erase—rather than enrich—the stories of what people cooked and ate across modern Italian history. Also, a word on immigration in Roman history, and the possible (in)coherency of the Mediterranean Diet.

Plus, a few notes about good science and myth-busting the paleo diet!

As the way China eats transforms, food activism and education are rising to address these changes. This week’s episode of Chewing the Fat collaborates with Kate Logan of Beijing Energy Network podcast Environment China to interview Wanqing Zhou to learn about her research and grassroots organizing in China. Starting with an overview of the country’s food system, we then discuss the ways Chinese people have historically eaten, and what this means for a trend like a plant-forward diet. In other words, in what ways should place and culture inform or complicate our approaches to food and agriculture, even ones seen sometimes as universal? How do collaborations then emerge to transform the relationships between people, food, farming, and the environment?

What might a world without hunger look like? On this episode of Chewing the Fat, we interview Dr. M. Jahi Chappell about his book, “Beginning to End Hunger: Food and the Environment in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and Beyond.” From the story about a city of 5 million that took on food security more holistically, we learn about how to unite sustainability and economic well-being: in policy design, community-building, and ultimately, deepening our commitment to human rights. Jahi then shares his reflections on how researchers should critically examine their roles in movement-building. What does it look like to create trust and be in one another’s lives, and how would that change what we think and do about hunger–here and everywhere?
