Claims of what food to eat or not to eat, if you want to be friendlier to the environment are myriad – go vegan, organic is best, dairy is scary, ditch almond milk, eat pasture-fed meat. The producer, and what they’re paid for their work, rarely figures. Focusing on the ‘what’ and the ‘how’, and not the ‘who’ leaves us blind to aspects of the food system that are exploiting people and the planet.
