Then, with a perspective on family food insecurity more broadly, Ruby Harrington shares her thoughts on Dian’s article and the ways in which hunger and poverty need systemic, concerted attention from academics and governance bodies alike.

Books for kids can be mirrors and windows, reflecting readers’ own lives or opening up onto those of others. When it comes to issues like hunger and poverty, portrayals in children’s literature have lasting effects on our collective understanding.

Alexia shares excerpts of meal planning from Northern Cookbook, and guest Koby Song-Nichols explains his 4-part methodology for menu analysis, discussed in “Can Historians Order off the Menu?” from Canadian Food Studies.

What’s on the menu? A lot, it turns out, and we’re not just talking about hors d’oeuvres and tasting combos. From gravy stains to hand-written notes, menus are an important source of information about cultural histories, social patterns, and human migration.

Following the University of Regina Press’s tagline, “A Gathering of Many Voices,” we’ve pulled together two voices from their catalogue, offering possible research, teaching, and travel inspiration on or in the Northern Great Plains.

Cover of James Daschuk’s book, “Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation, and the Loss of Aboriginal Life,” featuring the author name and title over a man with long hair, sitting cross-legged in the grass, his hands resting on his legs.

Diversification is a survival strategy that applies to many aspects of food systems, from biomes to economies to cuisine. This episode is about many of those things, including green sea urchins and the Wolastoqiyik Wahsipekuk First Nation’s approach to fisheries and food-making.

Focusing on future backwards is Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food, by Warren Belasco. While Barber projects forwards, Belasco looks at how past forecasters proposed futures over the last two hundred years. How often do we repeat ourselves?

Our first featured future is Sarah J. Martin’s review of The Third Plate: Field Notes on the Future of Food, in which chef Dan Barber imagines a meal in which taste and sustainability come together on a single plate. (CFS Vol. 1 No. 2 [2014]): doi.org/10.15353/cfs...

Futures and histories collide! Is it science fiction? time travel? Nope, it’s Food Studies! Your reading pleasure this weekend = the future of food + a HISTORY of the future of food. (That is, a book review plus a companion media piece, as curated by us…)

Between the title, "The Third Plate," and the author name, "Dan Barber," are four, black line drawings on a pale blue background: a carrot with the word “soil” below it; a Canada goose with the word “land” below it; a fish with the word “sea” below it; and a halved tomato with the word “seed” below it.

Seemingly floating in mid-air on a blue background is a TV-dinner-style foil tray containing green beans, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, meatloaf, and a red, jelly-like substance. The depth of focus is shallow, giving the tray and food a blurry quality. The author name, Warren Belasco, is at the top of the image and the title, Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food, is at the bottom.

A Shared Lunch, Part IV! Next to share lunch—which is not strictly speaking a lunch—is CFS author, Jen Brady. She writes, “Not being much of a lunch eater, I made a wrap with eggs and chili crisp for Second Breakfast, which I ate at my desk after getting my kids to school.” photo: Jennifer Brady
