Have you ever heard of the term, "food justice?" If you haven’t you will. Remember the kindergarten child that was not allowed to eat her lunch packed by her mother? She had to eat what the school had prepared. That’s food justice. Or at least a bit of it.
According to the website, http://www.foodjusticebook.org/?page_id=6, :
"Food justice seeks to ensure that the benefits and risks of where, what, and how food is grown, produced, transported, distributed, accessed and eaten are shared fairly. Food justice represents a transformation of the current food system, including but not limited to eliminating disparities and inequities.
Food advocates may work on several different issue areas, but share the common goal of challenging the injustices that exist throughout the dominant industrial and increasingly globalized food system. By striving to alleviate these injustices in the entire food system, the Food Justice movement is linked to and supports allied movements such as those related to the environment, land use, health, immigration, worker rights, economic and community development, cultural integrity, and social justice."
Funny, to me food justice is having a big thick T-bone steak with no steak sauce. Adding steak sauce would be an injustice.
Better hunker down, here comes some more help from the government.
