Happy pride! I wrote about the food that makes you gay, from jokes about ice cream to worries about soy, the long history of colonial fears about bodies and selves being able to change via food, and why that needn't be feared at all www.eater.com/24162871/foo...

This is, like everything by you that I’ve read, thoughtful, curious, informative, fucking hilarious, and generally supportive of the experience of being alive and how food is an expression and celebration of that

“products with rounded edges”--so many ways of riffing off of that. (Especially when I think of the #1 exemplar of the opposite extreme:)

Great article. This bit leapt out at me as one of the weirdest among a set of very weird things. BLTs are gay? That is right up there with homosexuals can't whistle.

"There are seemingly no foods that make you a lesbian....a woman can drink straight whiskey or eschew salad without being accused of being a lesbian or a man, and maybe she’s even temporarily considered cool or low-maintenance, but she will not gain male privilege by doing so." Interesting article!

Great piece and thank you for addressing a long term question I had about colonizers insisting on their home diets (now I can go read more!).

Very interesting article! Re: no lesbian foods: depends on how hardcore your gender roles are in your culture. Many culture circles do see women eating man foods as signs of gender and sex deviancy to be concerned over. Have experienced firsthand as have friends.

your article also makes me think of Jordan Peterson and the Liver King, who have made eating all-meat diets into a cornerstone of their ultra-masc crypto-fascist ideologies (and in the liver king's case, all-raw-organ-meat for extra Manliness, along with massive doses of steroids and HGH)

It would all be funny if it didn't often come with threats of violence. American men are extremely comfortable verbally and physically threatening men who don't tow the "all meat, always meat" line.

“Eating meat was seen as the right of white men, the very thing that defined their white masculinity.” And now men of all races believe that. We’ve come so far…
