Food s love, food is joy, ritual pleasure. It is essential, healthy, delicious, local, gorgeous, and bountiful.

Food is also political, complex, a privilege. Food is power, scarce, badly produced, overly processed, toxic.

What is YOUR point of view?
How can you, a designer, express your POV persuasively, knowledgeably, and convincingly?
