Many (if not most) food system workers, from the farm, restaurant kitchen, to the street vendor, are undocumented. So this is crucial because federal aid often cannot be allocated to them.

1/10 In this special issue of Food, Culture & Society (Feb 2021) we take the long-view on street vending in global cities from Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Bangkok, New Delhi, Milan, Mexico City, New York to LA. 10 articles. Abstract. In library databases.

2/10 Jayeeta Sharma provides a sonic history of the banning of street cries from Beijing to Boston through the 19th century, while highlighting how writers and tourist-bureaus churned out sentimental postcards and coffee table books about the protagonists. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…
3/10 James Farrer investigates the continuing importance of the street as a convivial space even in cities of the global north where food and drinks have been driven indoors in the wake of affluence and welfare regulation. tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Data visualization: Vegetarian-Non-Vegetarian/Rice-Wheat Line: India. Also clearly demarcates the cow belt.

#nytfoodfestival: Feeding the World. Good intentions + good topic + good people = inane, apolitical, self-congratulatory commentary. Everything hinging on individual waste + charity. A waste of time. Missed opportunity. Bottura talks way to much about everything.
Celebrity driven ill-informed nonsense. Mostly.
Honestly that was an embarrassment. Who curated this at NYT?
