How does an ‘organic child’ ideal hold mothers to an impossible standard? An article in Aeon written with Kate Cairns and Norah Mackendrick reflects on our collective research on foodwork, mothering, and challenging feminine standards.
Joe Pinsker just published an article in The Atlantic about a potential new trend: Americans seem to be spending less time eating at the kitchen table, and more on the couch or in the bedroom.
