When the moon hits your eye with a big pizza pie, that's intercultural systemic violence acting against closely held food norms while masquerading as moral purity, which indirectly destroy some food rituals while appropriating others. https://t.co/Z32zcEFI4Y
They don't call it the food AND drug administration for nothing.Policing food and what you take as medicine is how our systems enforce puritan rituals stemming from the migration of colonists. Implicitly enforce moral norms that promote one group via systemic xenohobia.
