D.I.Y & LOCALLY MADE FOOD: What the hipsters din’t tell you
I got this patches from 1384 screenprinting at the last anarchist book fair in Los Angeles right after a horrible white fucking person yelled at a beautiful brown mama for selling chicken at the gathering. The horrible person, skin waste and excess population was so fucking violent towards the brown lady that her gorgeous chubby lil brown kid felt embarrassed and was telling her mama they should go home. This pisses me off A LOT, pero for reals whats up with the amnesia? Who the fuck are the people that create the most waste and use up the most resources in the world? Who da fuck is related to the people that own Monsanto and all that horrible shit? Who da FUCK are the people that colonized, rape and took over land and COLONIZE indigenous foods?GUESS! So yeah amnesia pisses me off.
Como si fueramos nosotrxs who made up the horrible meat industry, como se fueramos nosotrxs who own those fuking meat businesses. como si nosotrxs no supieramos lo que es comer real food. Fuk that shit! Our muxeres are the reason why this world still revolves, they are the ones that use plastic containers for pots, to pack lunch, to store their money, to keep their legumes….they are the ones that cross seeds from one country to another, LAS SEMILLAS NO TIENEN BARRERAS EUROPEAS. Our muxeres are the ones that make sure that the food is eaten to its last bite. Our muxeres are the ones that plant flowers and make homes and entire neighborhoods beautiful full with plants that attract colibris and birds and all that magical shit.
The lady selling the pupusas, tamales, tacos in the corner WITHOUT fucking permits, maybe without fucking papers are THE REAL FUCKING REVOLUTIONARIES, FUCKING RADICAL ASS BEEZHIES.
We are hella DIY, some of our people don’t even need dishes cause they wrap their food with leaves. Some of our people don’t even need to buy dipers cause they use those 100% cotton panales to re-use and re-use. Some of our mamas used reusable fucking pads before being an eco-feminist was “in”. Some of our people had almost ZERO negative effects on mother earth cause they lived up in las montanas y en el rancho. Some of our people eat meat in minimal quantities, and guess WHAT some of our people still kill their own food. Some of our people have never had cars pero have hella tight nice walking/running legs. GUESS WHAT ELSE! The colonial food system, that McShit, Wendy BS, Burger Caca ALL that white trash food that is killing our people and creating an epidemia of diabetes WAS NOT CREATED BY OUR PEOPLE. My people drink fucking REAL fruit juice with honey, bitch.
So yeah let’s eat local! Let’s pick fruits from the trees in our neighborhood, let’s support our local corner muxeres huslting, let’s TIP our muxeres. Let’s honor the REAL DIY queenz that make trash into magical useful things. Let’s honor our muxeres that use the little money they make in this patriarchal racist system to fill their children tummies with ancestral beans, corn, potatoes and all that beautiful foods that are truly BROWN and from this continent.

Homemade SPAM
Only a white person would make homemade artisanal SPAM
The End of SPAM Shame: On Class, Colonialism, and Canned Meat (Sylvie Kim, Hyphen)
In 2010’s Asian American/Asian Research Institute (AAARI) Summer Series, Robert Ji-song Ku, Visiting Professor in the Department of Asian and Asian American Studies at SUNY Binghamton and self-professed lover of Spam, spoke of the meat and other foodstuffs in the context of his manuscript Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
“Due to their long entangled history with the US military, these two places [South Korea and Hawaii] along with Guam lead the world in per capita consumption of the pink gelatinous pork. Immediately following World War II, the American GIs stationed in Asia and the Pacific curried favor with the impoverished natives by handing out such luxuries as chocolate, cigarettes and Spam which as part of the US Army’s monotonous C-Ration was an object of scorn and mockery by most of the rank and file. Here in the US, Spam is widely regarded as vulgar, farcical and an affront to the very idea of real or whole food. To millions of devotees in and across the Pacific Ocean however, Spam is not only an essential part of the local indigenous cuisine, but a luxury commodity as well.”
I didn’t know it then, and perhaps it would have been futile to try to explain it to my peers, but my Spam consumption was largely the result of American military and political expansion abroad. I grew to love a food that was championed as a symbol of American ingenuity despite being denigrated by Americans themselves. I eat Spam and am judged for eating Spam because of America. Both Asian Pacific Americans and Spam were the butt of a cruel joke: Please value what we deem subpar and make us money in the process. It’s a terribly heavy load of symbolism to place on a pink block of meat.
SPAM is a perfect example of food that white people created, doled out to POC, looked down upon us for embracing, and now, apparently, are reclaiming as “hipster fare.” It’s all come full circle.
Yes, exactly this — Trinidad and Tobago was a stop for the US Military as well. My dad says when he was a kid, him and his friends used to go where the US soldiers were stationed and hope that the soldiers would throw down gum and sandwiches and things for them.
The soldiers also brought with them tinned luncheon meat like Spam, vienna sausages, and corned beef. And long after they left the islands, we kept on eating those things, and let me tell you something: the way we cook them is fucking tasty. Spam in Hawai’ian plate lunches or musubi is delicious. Spam and fried egg sandwiches from Hong Kong Chinese places are amazing. Curried corned beef and tomatoes on rice is unbelievably good.
Eating the food of the Other “ironically” in that fevered hipster fetishistic way is not cute or kooky (see: ramen). Seeking out the cheaper meats that chromatic people have been cooking up in gorgeously mouthwatering ways for years and then in essence gentrifying the market (chicken wings and oxtail used to be SO CHEAP when white people didn’t want them, y’all) is not authentic or earthy or whatever.
Seriously, I have never seen such simultaneous contempt for and fetishization of foodstuffs as I see in North American culture. It’s like an exercise in exhaustion navigating it all sometimes.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/714946266e393206203f508dddf697f0/tumblr_miywx3S9QG1rmo7c6o1_500.jpg)

have you read … i think the title is starting point? it's like a collection of miyazaki interviews & essays sort of arranged as a biography?
Ackth, no! never heard of it, would love to get my paws on it tho, anything I hear from or about that paragon is nothing short of SPECTACULAR — read this recent interview from another cartoonist and apparently Miyazaki used to cook noodles for everyone in his studio back when it was wee. There’s a Japanese show called “The Ghiblis” that showcased all the animators, in one episode they all go out for curry and see who can eat the hottest one. Ow, my heart.
Hopefully if I can get a copy without ordering from yucky old Amazon!

Always remember we’re not the minority
zuky:
We’re the great majority of humanity, and we’re the holders and keepers of many flames of knowledge and wisdom passed on to us by our ancestors. We’re the ones who sensed the delicate balance of nature and humanity, before their fossil fuels set fire to the ghost world and exploded into endless war. We’re the ones who grasped sustainable food systems, before their industrial agribusiness turned farms into factories and oasis into desert. We’re the ones who mapped the infinite cartography of the spirit, before their narrow literalism drained the magic out of people’s eyes. And we’re the only ones who are going to fix it. They’re the trembling minority clinging to their violent supremacism for dear life, and we’re the ones who are coming to take it away from them and make things right.

Software engineer Rob Rhinehart thinks he never has to eat a traditional meal ever again. The 24-year-old from Atlanta, GA has developed a strange beige drink named “Soylent,” in reference to the 1973 science fiction film Soylent Green, which he claims contains all the required nutrients to form a healthy diet. In a recent interview with Vice, Rhinehart revealed he thinks the world would be much better off if his concoction was adopted by the masses, resulting in an overall healthier populace.
