Is food a bonding experience, something you have good memories of, eating with family at an idealized dinner table? Or does food bring up thoughts of insecurity, trauma, lack? Perhaps it invokes some other experience altogether. Food writer Kim Foster explores these associations and more, as part of UNLV’s University Forum Lecture series in collaboration with the Black Mountain Institute. In The Meth Lunches, Foster’s discussion of nutrition in a time of income and access inequality, and how that interacts with depictions of gastronomy on social media, offers plenty to digest.
