'Hegemonic nutrition' is produced and proliferated by a wide
variety of social institutions such as mainstream nutrition
science, clinical nutrition as well as those less classically
linked such as life science/agro-food companies, the media, family,
education, religion and the law. The collective result is an
approach to and practice of nutrition that alleges not only one
single, clear-cut and consented-upon set of rules for 'healthy
eating,' but also tacit criteria for determining individual fault,
usually some combination of lack of education, motivation, and
unwillingness to comply. Offering a collection of critical,
interdisciplinary replies and responses to the matter of 'hegemonic
nutrition' this book presents contributions from a wide variety of
perspectives; nutrition professionals and lay people, academics and
activists, adults and youth, indigenous, Chicana/o, Latina/o,
Environmentalist, Feminist and more. The critical commentary
collectively asks for a different, more attentive, and more
holistic practice of nutrition. Most importantly, this volume
demonstrates how this 'new' nutrition is actually already being
performed in small ways across the American continent. In doing so,
the volume empowers diverse knowledges, histories, and practices of
nutrition that have been marginalized, re-casts the objectives of
dietary intervention, and most broadly, attempts to revolutionize
the way that nutrition is done.
