challenging informative reflective

This was an extremely insightful and informative read. Due to the academic format and frequent citations, it wasn't the easiest or smoothest read. However, this wasn't a hindrance to my engagement with the text.

The subject matter is both intriguing and challenging. 

Williams-Forson shows how food is inextricably linked to the Black experience and how food availability, food security, and food biases have played, and still play, a massive role in systematic racism towards Black Americans.

This book has challenged me to look at both my overt and implicit biases towards a range of food topics, and I have finished it with a more informed and intersectional perspective than the one I started with.
